Check your name is free before you pay
Name conflicts are the most common reason a filing is rejected, and most states keep the fee. Tell us the name and the state and we will check the register and send you a fixed quote — before you pay anything.

Before you file
What a new LLC actually needs
A name no one else has taken
States reject filings for names that are identical or "deceptively similar" to an existing one. It is the most common reason a filing bounces, and it costs you the fee in most states.
A registered agent with a real street address
Required in all fifty states, cannot be a PO box, and has to be available during business hours. If you use your home address it goes on the public record.
An EIN before you can do anything useful
You need one to open a bank account, take payments or hire. The IRS issues them free in minutes if you have an SSN, and by fax over several weeks if you do not.
A calendar you will not remember on your own
Most states want an annual report and some want franchise tax. Miss them and the state eventually dissolves the company. This is the part people find out about eighteen months later.
What we do
Four things, done properly
We handle your filing end to end.
The filing itself
We prepare your articles of organization, check the name is available first, file with the Secretary of State, and send you the stamped documents the moment they come back.
Registered agent
Every state requires one and it cannot be a PO box. We are your agent, so your home address stays off the public record — included in the first year and in the plan after that.
Your EIN
Obtained for you either way — in minutes if you have a social security number, and by the fax-and-chase route with the IRS if you do not. You need it before you can open an account, take payments or hire.
Operating agreement
Filled in with your members, your ownership split and your state. Not a blank template with your name typed at the top.

10 minutes of your time. Filing speed depends on your state.
Ten minutes is your part
You answer a short form — name, state, members, address. That is the ten minutes. After that we check the name, prepare the documents and file them, and the state takes as long as the state takes: a same-day approval in Wyoming, a couple of weeks in New York. We tell you which yours is before you pay, and we never claim to speed up a government office.
A Wyoming LLC, first year
Your state fee depends on where you file — $50 in New Mexico, $310 in Texas. We show you the exact figure before you pay and we never mark it up.
Already have an LLC that has lapsed? If your entity has fallen out of good standing or been administratively dissolved, that is a different job with a different price. Reinstatement and good standing.
Non-US residents
No SSN, no US address, no problem
You do not need to be a US citizen or resident to own a US LLC, and you do not need to travel here to form one. What you do need is an EIN obtained without a social security number and a real US business address. Both are included, and both are the parts people get stuck on.
All three are included, at the same price everyone else pays. We work with founders in most countries and we are used to the awkward parts.
- EIN without an SSN or ITIN, handled end to end
- A real US business address with mail scanning
- An honest guide to which banks and payment processors accept foreign-owned LLCs
Two things we do not do, so you hear it from us first. We do not open bank accounts and will not promise you one — that decision belongs to the bank, not to any filing service. And we do not prepare your federal tax filings: a foreign-owned US LLC has an annual IRS filing obligation of its own, separate from anything here, and you will want an accountant for it. We would rather tell you that now than let you find out in April.
How it works
Three steps, and you see the number first
Tell us the name and the state
We check the name is available before you pay for anything. If it is taken, you will hear it from us in the first email.
You get a fixed quote with the state fee itemised
Our fee and your state fee, listed separately, so you can see exactly what goes to the government and what comes to us.
We file, and send you everything
Stamped articles, your EIN letter, your operating agreement and the date of your first annual report. Nothing is charged until you have approved a number you have already seen.
If we get it wrong, we pay for it
If we file it wrong, we fix it and pay the state penalties and re-filing costs that result from our error, up to the amount you paid us. In cash, not credits.
We will also tell you in writing, before you pay, if we think your situation needs a lawyer or an accountant rather than a filing service. Sometimes it does.
Who we are
Who you are dealing with
Coyork is a small filing service. One person owns your file from the quote to the stamped documents, and you get their name and their direct email when you start. We built it because the alternatives either charge nothing and make it back on a renewal you did not notice, or charge a great deal and still will not tell you what the state fee is.
We are not a law firm and we are not accountants. We file documents accurately, on time, at a price we publish.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "10 minutes" actually mean?
It is your part. You answer a short form — name, state, members, address — and that is all we need from you. We then check the name, prepare the documents and file them. How long the state takes is up to the state: Wyoming can approve the same day, New York can take a couple of weeks. We tell you which yours is before you pay, and we never claim to make a government office move faster.
Which state should I form in?
We cannot answer that for you, and you should be sceptical of anyone who does without knowing your situation — it depends on where you live and where you actually operate, and it is a question for a lawyer or an accountant. What we can give you is what each state charges and requires, laid out identically so you can compare. Most people form in the state they operate in.
Do I have to be a US citizen or resident?
No. Non-US residents can own a US LLC and do not need to travel here to form one. You will need an EIN obtained without a social security number and a US business address — both are included, at the same price everyone pays. Note that a foreign-owned US LLC also has its own annual IRS filing obligation, which we do not handle; you will want an accountant for that part and we will say so again before you buy.
Will you open a bank account for me?
No, and be careful of anyone who says they will. The decision belongs to the bank and no filing service controls it. What we give you is a current, honest guide to which banks and payment processors accept foreign-owned US LLCs and exactly what each one asks for. We would rather tell you the truth about this than sell you a promise we cannot keep.
Do I have to keep paying after the first year?
Only if you want us to keep doing the work. Every state requires a registered agent, and most require an annual report — someone has to do those. Our plan covers them at a published price, it is not pre-ticked at checkout, and you can appoint a different agent or handle it yourself at any point.
How do I cancel?
One click in your account, any time. No phone call, no retention questions, nothing to email. We write to you before every renewal with the amount and the date. If cancelling is ever harder than that, we have broken our own terms.
Are you a law firm?
No, and we say so on every page. We are a filing service. We prepare and file the documents you instruct us to file. We do not advise you on which entity type to choose, which state to form in, or what any of it means for your tax position. Where that is what you need, we say so and stand aside.
Ten minutes, and it is off your list
Tell us the name and the state. We check it is available, send you a fixed quote with the state fee itemised, and file it once you say yes. No card until then.
