Fairentity helps you form a company in the United States without leaving home. You talk with Fae, our AI assistant, and she gathers what is needed. A person on our team then reviews everything and files it.

The steps

  1. Conversation. Fae asks about the company you want: the type, the state, the name and the owners. You can answer in your own words and in your own language.
  2. Summary and payment. You review a summary of the company and the total before paying. State fees are shown separately from our service fee.
  3. Name check. We confirm that the name looks available and follows the state's rules before filing.
  4. Filing. A person on our team submits the formation documents to the state. Processing times are set by the state, not by us.
  5. EIN. If you asked for one, we prepare the application to the IRS, which assigns the number.
  6. Documents and dashboard. Your formation documents and next deadlines appear in your dashboard.

What is automated and what is not

Fae collects information and answers general questions. People review the case, file with the state and handle anything unusual. If something needs attention, we tell you what is waiting on you.

What you need on hand

  • The company name you would like, and a second option.
  • The names and addresses of the owners.
  • A way to receive email.

You do not need to travel to the United States to start.

What Fae cannot do

Fae is an AI system and can make mistakes. She gives general information and does not give legal or tax advice about your personal situation. When you need that, she can ask a person to follow up, and you may want to consult a licensed professional.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice.
