So your team wants to build company formation in-house. Here’s the scope doc nobody writes up front.
→ 50 states, 50 filing processes, each with its own forms, fees and turnaround
→ EIN issuance, including founders with no SSN
→ A registered agent address in every state you support
→ Annual reports and franchise taxes on a different calendar per state
→ Mail, IRS notices and state letters, forever
→ Rules that keep changing, so maintenance never ends
And your first support ticket hasn’t even come in yet.
This is the work the doola Formation API takes on. Your users form a US company inside your product, under your brand, and we handle the state filings, EIN and compliance in the background.
Save this for your next build-vs-buy meeting, then book a Formation API call via our bio.
