What Simple Filing Guide is

State guides on formation, agents and out-of-state registration come with a glossary, fifty-state tables and national picks.

Editors at Simple Filing Guide build the guides from official documents. They are general information, not legal advice.

Simple Filing Guide is reader-supported. We may earn money when you buy through links on this page, and the companies we rank are our partners. Prices come from each company's own pages and official state sources.

The method page lays out our sources, our arithmetic and our weights.
