About the show
The Business Formation Podcast is a plain-English guide to starting a U.S. company. Each episode answers one question founders actually search for: how to start an LLC in your state, what it really costs, which registered agent to use, and which formation services are worth the money.
Two hosts walk through the real numbers: state filing fees, annual report deadlines, registered agent renewal prices, and the add-ons that turn a $99 teaser into a much bigger bill. Services are ranked by what you pay over three years, not by the first-year price. We cover all 50 states, plus national roundups and episodes for non-U.S. founders forming an American LLC.
State fees come from official state sources, and company prices come from each company's own pricing page at the time of recording. Nothing in this show is legal or tax advice.
