Every document in one secure place.
Encrypted storage for your articles of organization, operating agreement, EIN letter, BOI confirmation, state filings, contracts, leases, and anything else that matters. Audit trail on every access.
Document Vault, plainly.
Important business documents have a way of scattering: the articles are emailed once and lost, the operating agreement is in someone\u2019s Dropbox, the EIN letter is a JPEG attached to a forwarded email. Six months later, the bank asks for them all again and you spend a day searching.
Document Vault solves this by being the single place every important document lives. When we file your formation, the stamped articles arrive in the vault. Your EIN letter lands there. Your BOI confirmation lands there. Annual reports as they are filed each year. Contracts you upload yourself.
Beyond storage, the vault tracks who accessed what and when. Useful for compliance audits, useful for catching unauthorized access. Documents are encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.3). The platform is SOC 2 Type II certified.

“When my lender asked for every operating agreement across nine LLCs at 5pm on a Friday, I downloaded them in three clicks. Used to take a week and an email chain.”
