How it works

Standard vs same-day.

Standard filing
Free (just state fee)

Typical processing: 1-7 business days in most states. Some take 2-3 weeks.

Expedited (same-day)
$99 add-on + state expedite fee

Filed and approved same business day in eligible states. Plus state-specific expedite fee ($50-$1,500).

When worth it
Time-sensitive deals

Closing a deal that requires the LLC exists. Investor diligence with tight timeline. Tax-year deadline (December filings).

When not worth it
Standard timing fine

If you have 1-2 weeks for standard processing, save the expedite fee.

FAQ

Common questions.

What does "same-day" mean?
Same business day. If submitted before the state's daily cut-off (typically 2-4pm local time), the LLC is filed and approved the same business day. Submissions after cut-off are processed next business day.
What does it cost?
File.Business expedited service fee: $99. Plus state expedite fee (varies; see table). Plus standard state filing fee.
Which states are fastest?
Delaware 1-hour rush ($1,000 fee). Colorado online filing (same day, no expedite fee). Wyoming next-day standard.
What if my state is not on the list?
Some states do not offer expedited service. Standard processing applies. We can advise on the fastest legal path for your specific situation.
Can I expedite the EIN too?
For US founders with SSN, EIN is same-day via online application. Expedited EIN is not possible (IRS does not offer expedited).
What about same-day banking?
Online banks (Mercury, Relay) can approve accounts in 1-3 days once documents are submitted. Faster than traditional banks.
Is same-day formation legitimate?
Yes. State expedited filings have been standard for decades. The same legal entity is created; just processed faster.
Can same-day formation fail?
Rare. Name conflicts or missing required information can cause rejection. Pre-check the name and complete required fields before filing.
