Checked October 27, 2026 from each state's own fee page or law. Corporation fees are the state minimum; a corporation with many authorized shares can owe more in a few states. Newspaper notices (New York LLCs, Arizona, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and Georgia corporations) are billed by the newspaper. States change fees: if the fee at filing is higher, the difference is charged to the same card, and if it is lower, it is refunded. A final invoice follows the filing. See our Terms.

We are not attorneys

Lobi Space is not a law firm, and no one on our staff, including our notary public, is an attorney licensed to practice law in Illinois. We prepare and file formation documents only at your direction, using the information you give us. We cannot give legal or tax advice, tell you which entity type to choose, or review your situation the way a lawyer would. For those decisions, talk to an Illinois attorney or a CPA.

Notice from our notary public (Illinois law, 5 ILCS 312/3-103)

I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY LICENSED TO PRACTICE LAW IN ILLINOIS. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DRAFT LEGAL DOCUMENTS OR RECORDS, NOR MAY I GIVE LEGAL ADVICE ON ANY MATTER, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, MATTERS OF IMMIGRATION, OR ACCEPT OR CHARGE FEES FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF THOSE ACTIVITIES.

Launch package questions

Still unsure? Send us a message and we will walk you through the right plan.

Ready when you are

One package, one checkout

Pick your state at checkout. You pay our fee there, and the state fee is shown before you pay.

Start my LLC

Lobi Space is not a law firm and does not give legal advice; we prepare and file documents at your direction.

What does the Launch package include?

Your state filing with the name check, your EIN, an operating agreement or bylaws, 1 year of registered agent service, compliance tracking with annual report reminders, state notice monitoring, your portal to view every document, and customer service from a real team. $195, plus the state fee.

Are state fees included?

No. State fees vary by state, and we pass them through at cost. Our fee doesn't change. Illinois charges $150 for an LLC and $175 for a corporation. You see the state fee before you pay.

What renews after the first year?

Only the registered agent, at $125 a year after the first year, with annual report reminders and document processing included. The package itself is a one-time fee.

What if I don't have a Social Security number?

We still get your EIN from the IRS, for $100 more. Without an SSN or ITIN the application is done by hand and takes longer.

Who is my registered agent?

In Illinois it is us, at our Chicago office. In every other state it is our national registered agent partner. Either way, notices land in your portal the same day.

Can I add a business address?

Yes, for Illinois businesses. A business mailbox is $30 a month, with mail scanned to your portal, and a virtual office is from $50 a month for Starter, Pro or Premium. Both use our Chicago address and are only offered in Illinois for now.

Can you file in states other than Illinois?

Yes. The package is the same price in all 50 states. Annual reports and amendments are $125, plus state fees.

What other filings do you handle?

Change of registered agent at $25, resignation of agent at $45, certificates of good standing and certified copies at $95, all plus state fees.

Why $195 when others advertise $0?

Because the $0 packages are priced to sell you renewals: registered agent at $199 to $249 a year and compliance subscriptions on top. Ours is one fee with the EIN, the documents and the agent's first year in it, then $125 a year. We would rather say the renewal number out loud on day one.

Can I come in and ask questions first?

Please do. We are at 1655 S Blue Island Ave in Pilsen, Monday through Friday 9 to 5. Book a tour or call (312) 248-7020.
