Same-day LLC formation.

Some states accept same-business-day LLC filings for a fee. Add the $99 expedited filing add-on at checkout. Available in Delaware, Wyoming, Nevada, Florida, Texas, and a handful of others.

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

Frequently asked questions.

Can I really form an LLC the same day?
In some states, yes: a number of states offer same-day or even one-hour expedited processing for an extra fee, so an LLC can be officially formed within hours where the state supports it. Others still take days regardless. We tell you whether your state offers same-day filing and handle the expedite.
Which states offer same-day LLC formation?
Several do through expedited service, though the exact options, one-hour, same-day, or 24-hour, and their fees vary by state, and some states simply do not expedite. We check your specific state's expedite tiers so you know the fastest realistic option before you count on same-day.
How much does same-day formation cost?
The state charges an expedite fee on top of the normal filing fee, and the amount varies by state and speed tier. Because it changes, we show your state's current expedite cost and pass it through at cost. Our service pricing is on the pricing page so you can weigh speed against cost.
Is a same-day LLC fully ready to operate?
The state registration can be same-day, but a fully operational business also needs an EIN, a bank account, and any licenses, which have their own timelines. Same-day formation is the first step, not the whole setup. We move the EIN and next steps quickly so the fast filing is not stranded.
Do I still need a registered agent for a same-day LLC?
Yes: speed does not change the requirements, you still must name a registered agent on the filing, which is why we line the agent up as part of the expedited formation. We put it in place so the rushed filing is complete and not rejected for a missing agent.
Why would I need to form an LLC same day?
Common reasons: a contract or client that requires an entity immediately, a bank or vendor deadline, a time-sensitive purchase, or securing a name fast. Whatever the trigger, we handle the expedite so the entity exists when you need it rather than days later.
Can the EIN be obtained same day too?
Often yes for US founders: the IRS issues EINs online immediately in many cases, so a same-day LLC can also have its EIN the same day, though foreign founders without an SSN take longer. We obtain the EIN as fast as your situation allows alongside the expedited formation.
What can slow down a same-day formation?
A name that is unavailable or lacks the right designator, missing information, or a state backlog can stall even an expedited filing, which is why preparation matters. We check the name and complete the details up front so the expedite actually delivers same-day rather than bouncing.
Can File.Business form my LLC the same day?
Where your state supports it, yes: we prepare the filing correctly, add the registered agent, submit with the state's expedite, and pursue the EIN immediately, so your business can be formed and ready as fast as the state allows rather than waiting out standard processing.
How it works

How we deliver, end-to-end.

Four-step path from request to confirmation. State and IRS turnaround varies; our steps run in parallel where possible to compress the timeline.

1

Intake + scope

You tell us what you need through a short intake form (or a call for complex matters). We confirm scope, surface any gating issues (deadlines, missing documents, entity status), and quote any state fees that pass through at cost.

2

Prepare + verify

Our specialists draft the filing, verify entity details against state databases, run internal QA, and route any items needing your sign-off. You see drafts before anything gets submitted.

3

File with the authority

We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.

4

Confirmation + vault

Stamped certificate, IRS notice, or filing receipt arrives in your SOC 2 encrypted document vault the moment we receive it. Next filing deadline auto-added to your compliance calendar where applicable.
