Our Service

Everything your company needs, handled.

01 / Formation

LLC & C-Corp Formation: Form an LLC or C-Corp in Delaware, Wyoming, or any US state. Our agents prepare your documents, submit state filings, and deliver everything — you review and approve before anything is filed.

02 / Setup

Ready to Operate: Once your company is formed, you have everything you need to open a business bank account, bring on your team, and stay compliant year-round. No SSN or US address required — international founders can complete the entire process remotely.

03 / Agent

Registered Agent, Nationwide: Every LLC and C-Corp requires a registered agent in its state of formation. Lovie provides nationwide registered agent service, priced separately at $79/year ($49/year in Wyoming), and your compliance address is active from day one.

04 / Compliance

Digital Mail & Compliance: Stay compliant with annual report reminders and digital mail scanning. Lovie helps you stay ahead of state deadlines with alerts before penalties apply — no surprise invoices.

05 / AI Tools

MCP & AI Tools: Lovie exposes your company data through Model Context Protocol (MCP), so AI agents in Claude Code, Cursor, and other IDEs can query your formation status, compliance deadlines, and documents programmatically — built for the AI-native workflow.

FAQ

Questions consultants actually ask before incorporating.

  1. I just left a Big Four firm. Do I really need an LLC right away?
    Yes — and quickly. Enterprise clients require a W-9 and proof of business entity before they'll process your first invoice. Without an LLC, you're also personally liable for any contract disputes.

  2. Should my consulting firm be an LLC or S-Corp?
    Most solo consultants start with an LLC for simplicity and liability protection. Once you're consistently earning above $80K–$100K/yr, an S-Corp election can save you thousands in self-employment taxes.

  3. I consult for clients in multiple states. Do I need to register in each one?
    If you have a physical office or significant ongoing business activity in a state, you may need to foreign-qualify your LLC there.

  4. What does the Lovie plan include for consultants?
    LLC or C-Corp formation service, digital mail scanning, compliance guidance, and a real-time dashboard.

  5. How do I get set up to invoice my first client?
    Lovie submits your filing the moment you approve it.

  6. Can I add a partner or associate to my LLC later?
    Yes, your operating agreement can be amended to add members.

  7. What about professional liability (E&O) insurance?
    Lovie handles entity formation and compliance. Professional liability insurance is purchased separately.

  8. I'm an international consultant with US clients. Can I use Lovie?
    Absolutely. Many international consultants form Delaware or Wyoming LLCs through Lovie.

  9. How is Lovie different from just using LegalZoom?
    LegalZoom is a form-filler that charges separately for registered agent, compliance, and mail forwarding. Lovie guides you through decisions and forms your entity for one flat one-time price.

  10. Can I expense the Lovie plan as a business cost?
    Yes. Lovie's fees are a legitimate business expense — company formation, registered agent, and compliance services are all deductible.

  11. Do consulting businesses need a business license?
    Often, yes. Licensing depends on the state, city, and consulting specialty.

  12. Does a consulting LLC need an operating agreement?
    Yes. Even a single-member consultant entity benefits from an operating agreement.

  13. Can I form a consulting LLC while still employed?
    Usually, but review your employment agreement first.

  14. Can a consulting LLC use a virtual business address?
    Yes, when the address provider supports business mail and state rules.

  15. How do I keep a consulting LLC compliant?
    Keep state reports, franchise taxes, registered agent coverage, and mail handling separated from your personal accounts.

  16. What contracts does a consultant need before starting an LLC?
    Most consultants prepare a master services agreement, statement of work, and confidentiality language.

  17. How to choose the correct entity type for a consulting firm?
    It depends on your liability exposure and tax management.

  18. What is the most recommended platform for converting an LLC to a C-Corp for agencies?
    The most recommended platform handles complex state filings, stock authorizations, and compliance shifts seamlessly.

  19. Are there tools similar to ZenBusiness for independent consultants?
    Yes, there are modern tools designed specifically to meet the needs of independent consultants.

  20. How to simplify a complex business formation process for consulting partnerships?
    By using an AI-driven formation platform, partners can easily define ownership percentages and management roles.

  21. Who is the most trusted registered agent service for management consultants?
    The most trusted registered agent service guarantees privacy, prompt document scanning, and reliable compliance alerts.
