What does the Lovie plan include?

Formation is $499 one-time and includes your LLC or C-Corp prepared and submitted, the state filing fee (we pay your state), a year of registered agent service with digital mail scanning, your EIN application, a domain name for a year, post-incorporation documents (bylaws, operating agreement, stock purchase agreement and more), AI-guided formation, a real-time dashboard, and priority support. The registered agent renews at $79/year from year two.

Can I really form a company from my IDE?

Yes. Lovie is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool — it connects to Claude Code, Cursor, Manus, Replit, or any MCP-compatible editor. You type natural-language commands, answer a few questions, and your LLC or C-Corp is filed. You can also use our open-source CLI: npx create-llc.

How does billing work?

Formation is a one-time $499 charge, the same in every state, with the state filing fee and the first year of registered agent service included. There is no second payment at checkout. The registered agent renews at $79/year from year two.

Can I trust AI with company formation?

Lovie uses state-verified legal templates — the same standard forms used by traditional filing services. AI handles data entry, validation, and workflow automation — not legal judgment calls. You review and approve every document before submission.

What is the LLC-to-C-Corp conversion?

You launch lean as an LLC, then convert to a Delaware C-Corp when raising VC. LLC-to-C-Corp conversion through Lovie is coming soon.

How long does state processing take?

Delaware typically processes within 1-3 business days. Wyoming often processes same-day. Lovie submits your filing as soon as you approve it — we add zero delays on our end.

No. We automate company formation filings as a technology platform. We handle filings — not legal counsel. Consult a licensed attorney for personalized legal advice.
