About LLC Academy

LLC Academy Team

Our Story

LLC Academy was founded in 2010 with a simple mission: provide honest, accurate, and actionable information about LLC formation. We are a team of researchers dedicated to making LLC content accessible to everyone. We believe that starting a business should not require expensive lawyers or confusing legal jargon.

Since 2010, we have helped thousands of entrepreneurs form their LLCs and save over $34 million in avoidable fees. Our step-by-step guides have been featured in major publications including CNBC, Yahoo Finance, USA Today, and Entrepreneur Magazine.

We are the first company to provide free online LLC courses and comprehensive state-by-state guides with no paywall or registration required.

Why We Exist

At LLC Academy, we are driven by our mission to empower entrepreneurs. We were organized as a Benefit Company, which means we are not driven by profit, but rather by our mission to help people start businesses affordably.

We teach people how to form LLCs in every state with free, comprehensive step-by-step guides. We provide all the information you need without expensive attorney fees or confusing legal language.

About Our Team

We are a team of researchers passionate about making LLC education accessible to everyone. Our team works together to research, write, and maintain comprehensive guides for LLC formation across all 50 states.

We believe that entrepreneurs deserve accurate, up-to-date information without having to pay expensive legal fees. That is why we dedicate ourselves to researching state requirements, fees, and processes so you can make informed decisions.

Every member of our team is committed to ensuring our content is accurate, clear, and helpful. We regularly review and update all guides to reflect current requirements and fees.

What Makes Us Different

• Completely Free: All our guides, templates, and resources are 100% free with no paywall
• State-Specific: Detailed information for all 50 states, not generic advice
• Up-to-Date: We regularly update our content to reflect current fees and requirements
• Transparent: We clearly disclose affiliate relationships and never mislead our readers
• No Registration Required: Access all content without signing up or creating accounts
• Educational Focus: We prioritize teaching over selling services

Criticism of Industry Practices

We are critical of many practices in the LLC formation industry:

• Upselling unnecessary services and add-ons
• Selling personal information to third parties
• Recommending filing in the wrong states (Nevada, Wyoming, Delaware) when not appropriate
• Charging high fees for services people can easily do themselves
• Hiding important information behind paywalls

We believe entrepreneurs deserve better. That is why we provide all the information you need to make informed decisions about your LLC formation.

Free LLC Program

Every month, we help 3 entrepreneurs form their LLC completely free. We cover 100% of the state filing fees and provide 3 hours of personalized support. This is our way of giving back to the entrepreneurial community.
