This site is a reference. It is not an adviser, not a law firm and not a filing service, and reading it costs nothing and creates no account. Using it means accepting what is set out below.
What is this site?
A published record of what it costs and what it takes to form an LLC in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Startupsole LLC publishes it.
Every figure renders from one dataset, the us-llc-fees-dataset repository, and carries the date it was verified along with a link to the source it was read from.
Is any of this legal or tax advice?
No. Nothing on this site is legal, tax or financial advice, and reading it creates no professional relationship of any kind.
Only the relevant state agency can decide an actual filing. For advice about your own situation, the right place is a professional licensed to give it.
How far can I rely on a figure?
As far as its date, which is printed next to it. Fees and deadlines change without notice, and a figure that was correct when it was read can be wrong by the time you read it.
There is no site-wide freshness claim here to rely on instead, by design. Check the linked source before you file.
A value nobody has read is marked as unread rather than shown as zero, and a fact that was checked and found not to exist is marked as checked. Those are different statements and this site keeps them apart.
Who owns what is on the page?
Three different owners, and it matters which is which. The dataset is published under CC BY 4.0 and its own licence governs what you may do with the data, not these terms.
The wording, design and code of this site belong to Startupsole LLC. State statutes and agency publications belong to the bodies that publish them.
What may I do with it?
Read it, quote it and link to it. A quoted figure is safest quoted with its date, because the date is what makes it checkable.
There are machine-readable copies of the same records and they exist to be used: the site pointer, the state index and one endpoint per published state. Use those rather than scraping the pages, and keep the request rate low enough that other readers are unaffected.
What may I not do?
Interfere with the site or with other people reading it, or attempt to reach parts of it that are not public.
Present the data as your own where the dataset licence requires attribution, or use anything published here to mislead someone about what a state charges or requires.
What is guaranteed?
Nothing. This site is provided as it is and as it happens to be available, without warranty of any kind, express or implied.
Startupsole LLC is not liable for any loss arising from use of this site or from reliance on anything published here. Where the law does not permit a liability to be excluded, it is limited to the least the law allows.
What if my use of the site causes a claim?
If your use of this site brings a claim against Startupsole LLC, you agree to cover the cost of dealing with it. That covers your breach of these terms and any unlawful use of the site by you.
Which law applies?
The law of the State of New Mexico, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute arising from these terms or from use of this site is brought in New Mexico.
Do these terms change?
They change when the site does, and the date above is the day this text last changed. The build checks that the two stay together, so the date cannot fall behind the words under it.
