Frequently
asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an LLC to start a business?
No, you don't need an LLC to operate a business. However, forming an LLC protects your personal assets, like your home and savings, from business liabilities. It can also make your business appear more credible to customers, banks, and partners.
How much does it cost to form an LLC?
LegalZoom offers LLC formation starting at $0 plus state filing fees. You can also choose plans that include additional support like operating agreements, Business ID filing, and access to business attorneys—all at transparent, upfront pricing.
How long does it take to form an LLC?
Formation times vary by state, but LegalZoom submits your paperwork quickly and keeps you updated every step of the way. In some states, expedited filing options may be available.
What’s the difference between Basic, Pro, and Premium plans?
All plans include official LLC formation, but the higher tiers add more support. Pro includes essential tools like operating agreements, a Business ID, and bookkeeping resources. Premium gives you direct access to experienced business attorneys for hands-on legal support as you start and grow.
Can LegalZoom help after I form my LLC?
Absolutely. Once your LLC is formed, you can access LegalZoom’s ongoing services—from registered agent support to attorney consultations—for a predictable monthly cost.
