Tallahassee, Florida · Serving founders nationwide
Hargis Business Formation Services LLC prepares, files and maintains limited liability companies for small business owners across the United States. Transparent flat fees, state fees at cost, and a named consultant who actually picks up the phone.
What we do
Choose a single filing or hand us the whole lifecycle — formation, registered agent, EIN and annual compliance under one roof.
Name availability search, Articles of Organization drafted and filed with the Florida Division of Corporations (or your chosen state), and a compliant operating agreement tailored to single-member or multi-member ownership.
A reliable in-state address for service of process, with same-day scanning and forwarding of every legal notice we receive on your behalf.
Federal Employer Identification Number applications for US and non-US founders, plus guidance on election deadlines so nothing is missed.
Annual reports, registered agent renewals, and a compliance calendar so your company never falls out of good standing.
Expanding into a new state? We register your existing LLC to transact business wherever your customers are.
Amendments, membership transfers, dissolutions, DBA registrations and the everyday paperwork that keeps a company clean on paper.
Why owners choose us
Most online incorporators sell you a $0 package and recover the difference through renewals you never agreed to. We do the opposite: one honest quote, government fees passed through at cost, and a written scope before we touch anything.
How it works
A 20-minute call to understand your business, ownership split and where you actually operate.
You receive a fixed quote listing every service fee and every government fee separately.
We draft the documents, confirm them with you, and submit to the state the same business day.
Stamped documents, EIN letter and a compliance calendar — then we keep you in good standing.
Client feedback
“James walked me through the whole filing on a Saturday morning phone call. My LLC was approved in three business days and I finally understood what I had signed.”
“We had two members and no operating agreement for a year. Hargis rebuilt our paperwork properly and now our bank and our accountant both stopped asking questions.”
“As a non-US founder the EIN process was the part I dreaded. They handled the SS-4, explained the timeline honestly, and answered every email within a day.”
Common questions
Our Essential package is $249 plus the state filing fee, which is currently $125 for Florida Articles of Organization including the designation of a registered agent. State fees are collected at cost and always shown separately on your invoice before you pay anything.
Florida online filings are typically processed in 2–5 business days. Paper filings and other states vary from same-day to three weeks. We tell you the realistic window for your state before you order, and we update you the moment the state stamps your documents.
No. Florida does not require members or managers to be residents. You do need a registered agent with a physical Florida street address, which is included in our Growth and Complete packages.
Yes. A significant share of our clients live outside the United States. We prepare EIN applications for founders without a Social Security Number and explain what US banks generally ask for. We cannot open a bank account on your behalf.
No. Hargis Business Formation Services LLC is a document filing and administrative services company. We prepare and file documents at your direction. We do not provide legal representation or tax advice, and we will tell you plainly when your situation calls for a licensed attorney or CPA.
