The flat-fee difference
$99.
One fee. No subscription. Nothing to cancel.
Our flat service fee for an LLC formation or an EIN filing. Where a government charges its own fee, it appears as its own line, passed through at cost. Much of this industry runs on $0-sounding offers that convert into monthly platform subscriptions. We sell filings, not memberships.
With Standard Filings
- One flat fee, paid once: $99 EIN, $99 formation + state fee
- Every government fee itemized separately, at cost
- Add-ons are optional and never pre-checked
- Nothing recurring, no membership to remember or cancel
- Money-back guarantee on the work
The subscription pattern
- “$0” or low intro pricing that rolls into a monthly platform fee
- Recurring charges that outlive the filing you actually needed
- Pre-checked bundles and upsell steps before checkout
- A subscription to track down and cancel later
Describing a common industry pattern, not any specific company. Some subscription platforms suit businesses that want ongoing software.
Plain dealing
We'll always tell you the free option.
Every document we file can also be filed directly with the government: an EIN is free at irs.gov, and your state charges only its own fee for an LLC. That's not fine print to us; it's the first thing we say.
You hire Standard Filings for the same reason you hire any professional service: your paperwork prepared carefully, filed during business hours, with a guarantee behind it.
Questions
Fair questions.
Are you the IRS or a government agency?+
No. Standard Filings is a private document-preparation and filing company. You can always file directly with the IRS or your state yourself, often for free or for just the government's own fee. We're the done-for-you option: we prepare the paperwork, file it, and stand behind the work.
Why pay for something I could do myself?+
The same reason people hire bookkeepers or payroll services: time, correctness, and someone to call. Our customers would rather spend an afternoon running their business than reading government form instructions. And if we ever can't complete your filing, you get your money back.
How fast is it?+
It depends on the filing and the government's own processing. EINs are prepared and filed during IRS business hours and emailed as soon as they're issued; state formations and other filings move at your state's pace. We track each one and deliver the moment it's ready. We don't promise a clock, because government timing genuinely varies.
What does 'flat fee' mean?+
The price you see is our full service fee. Where a government charges its own filing fee (like state LLC fees), we show it separately and pass it through at cost. No markups, no surprise line items.
What if something goes wrong with my filing?+
We fix it or refund you; see our money-back guarantee. Every order also includes human support by email, with responses during business hours.
