  3. Filing Submitted

    We submit your formation documents through our vetted formation services platform. You'll receive a confirmation with your expected processing timeline by state.

"I'd been putting off forming my LLC for over a year because every service I found had confusing fees. CogWealth spelled everything out before I paid a cent. The intake was fast, and they actually answered my questions. My LLC was live in under two weeks."

★★★★★
Marcus D.
Founder, e-commerce brand · Georgia

"The guided checklist was a game-changer. I didn't know I needed to file a separate annual report until CogWealth reminded me with plenty of time to spare. That alone was worth the price of the Essentials package."

★★★★★
Tanya R.
Owner, consulting practice · Texas

"I appreciated that they were upfront about what they are and aren't — they're not lawyers and they said so clearly. But for the formation paperwork and keeping me on track? Excellent. I'll use them again when I form my second entity."

★★★★★
James L.
Real estate investor · Florida

"The trademark process felt impossible until I worked with CogWealth. They explained every step, submitted everything correctly, and followed up proactively. Budget Plus was exactly what my small business needed."

Frequently asked questions

Plain answers to the questions we hear most.

Processing times depend on the state. Most standard LLC filings process in 5–15 business days; expedited options are available in many states and can reduce this to 1–3 days (additional state fees apply). We'll give you a realistic timeline for your specific state before you submit.

Typically: full legal name(s) of owners, address(es), proposed business name, and a government-issued ID for identity verification. Our intake wizard walks you through exactly what's needed for your specific entity type and state — no guessing required.

State filing fees are mandatory government charges paid directly to your state's Secretary of State. They range from roughly $50 to $500 depending on the state — for example, Wyoming is ~$100 while California is ~$70. We bill these at cost (no markup) and show you the exact amount before you pay anything.

No. CogWealth Technology Services Ltd is a business formation and consulting service, not a law firm. We do not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. Our services help you complete and submit formation paperwork, but we strongly encourage you to consult a licensed attorney for legal questions and a CPA for tax matters.

All intake submissions are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. We never sell your personal information. Your data is used only to process your order and communicate with you about your services. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

CogWealth service fees are refundable if we have not yet submitted your filing. Once a filing has been submitted to the state or USPTO, our service fee is non-refundable, though we'll work to resolve any issues that arise. State and government fees are non-refundable once paid. Please contact us before your order is processed if you need to make changes.

You'll receive your formation documents and a step-by-step Operational Readiness Checklist covering: applying for your EIN with the IRS, opening a business bank account, setting up your operating agreement, and understanding your annual state compliance requirements. Essentials and Supreme clients receive ongoing compliance reminders.

Yes. Many clients form in Delaware, Wyoming, or Nevada for various reasons. However, if you operate your business in a different state, you may also need to foreign-qualify in your home state — an additional filing. We can walk you through the considerations, but we recommend consulting an attorney for entity structure decisions.

CogWealth manages your intake, reviews your information for completeness, and coordinates fulfillment through our vetted formation services platform — an established provider specializing in business formation workflows. This is not a legal partnership; CogWealth is responsible for your experience and satisfaction throughout the process.

You can email us directly, book a 15-minute call via our calendar link, or reach us on WhatsApp if you selected that preference during intake. We respond to all inquiries within 1 business day, often faster.

Yes — non-US residents can form US entities. There are additional considerations around registered agent requirements and obtaining an EIN without a Social Security Number (ITIN route). Book a call and we'll explain the full process for your situation.

We perform a basic name availability check as part of your intake. If your preferred name is unavailable, we'll contact you to discuss alternatives before submitting anything. You only pay once a name is confirmed available and you've approved the filing.

Your business is
waiting to be born.

Most clients go from intake to filed in under 24 hours. Start today — or book a quick call and we'll walk you through everything.
