Frequently asked questions
Do I need a registered agent?
Yes — it is mandatory for US companies in every state.
Can I switch agents to MLF?
Yes — we handle the change of agent for an existing company.
How long does formation take?
Timelines depend on the jurisdiction and on the completeness of your documents. We confirm a realistic timeline in your written quote and keep you informed at each step.
What does it cost?
We quote a fixed legal fee in writing before work begins. Government, registry and registered-agent charges are set by third parties and listed separately and clearly.
Who looks after the company after formation?
We can. Renewals, registered-agent services and annual filings can be added as a fixed annual engagement, so one team stays responsible for your structure.
