Honest limits
What we don’t do, and who does.
LLCity files entity documents, serves as your agent of record and tracks the deadlines that follow. Knowing where that stops saves you time and money — so here it is, in one place.
- Legal advice
- A business attorney in your state

- Approval & timing

Can LLCity give me legal advice?
No. We are a filing and compliance service, not a law firm. Reading a guide here or sending us an enquiry does not create an attorney–client relationship, and nothing on the site is legal advice for your situation. Choosing a structure for a deal, negotiating terms between owners, a lawsuit you have been served with, or a dispute between owners are questions for a business attorney licensed in your state.
Can LLCity tell me how my company should be taxed?
We file the paperwork — including the federal S corporation election (Form 2553) and a state election where one exists — but whether an S election, or any other tax treatment, is right for you depends on your income, payroll and state, and that is tax advice. The same goes for tax returns themselves.
Can LLCity promise my filing will be approved, or how fast?
No. Filing offices decide what they accept and how quickly they process it. We prepare the filing, submit it to the right office and tell you what your deadlines are; we cannot promise an approval, a processing time or a particular result. When a page describes what a filing does, it describes the filing — not a guarantee about your entity.
Will LLCity sell me a filing I don’t need?
We would rather tell you it does not apply. A few examples the site already calls out state by state:
- Beneficial ownership (BOI) reporting now reaches only entities formed under the law of a foreign country that register to do business in a US state. A company formed in the United States does not file one.
- Newspaper publication is a minority rule. We show it only where your jurisdiction requires it — see the New York record for the best-known case.
- In New York and West Virginia the Secretary of State is already your agent for service of process; a private agent is an optional addition, not a requirement. Pennsylvania requires a registered office and no agent at all.
- Some states ask for no recurring state report from the entity types we publish on. The compliance calendar says so rather than inventing a deadline.
Why is there no price on the site?
Because there is no single one. Pricing is custom to your portfolio of entities and states and is confirmed with you directly. State fees are set by the state, and we confirm them with you before anything is filed. No page on this site is a quotation.
Will the site ask for my Social Security number or EIN?
No. No web form here asks for payment details, a Social Security number, an EIN, a government ID or uploaded documents. Where a filing genuinely needs information of that kind, the filing team collects it once you are working with us. How the site handles what you do send is in the Privacy Policy.
Is everything on the site final for my state?
It is the starting point, not the last word. Every statutory fact we publish carries the filing office or statute it came from and the month we last reviewed it, and anything not yet confirmed against the state’s own source is labelled draft wherever it appears. Statutes and filing-office practice change — confirm what you rely on with the filing office, or ask us and we will check it against your state.
