Is forming a Georgia LLC really free?

Do I need an EIN?

You'll need one to open a business bank account or hire employees. You can get an EIN directly from the IRS at no cost. Inc Authority also offers to handle it for you.

What about a registered agent after the first year?

Inc Authority includes registered agent service for the first year. Check the renewal terms during checkout, or switch to another agent with a registered office in Georgia.

Do I have to buy any add-ons?

No. Operating agreements, legal document packages and other extras are optional. You can file your LLC by paying only the $110 state fee.
