Most people who form a business pay someone to do something they could have done themselves in 20 minutes. Not because it’s complicated — because nobody showed them where to go. The Secretary of State website for your state has been there the whole time. The IRS EIN application has always been free. The operating agreement templates exist. The information was never hidden. It was just never put in one place and made accessible to the people who actually needed it.

This issue is that place. By the time you finish reading, you will have the direct link to your state’s filing portal, the exact fee, a complete step-by-step walkthrough of the filing process, the full EIN application from start to confirmation, and operating agreement templates you can download and sign today. No search required. No middleman. No bill.

By the time you finish reading this, you will know exactly what to do, in what order, and where to go. No search required.
