Question 1

What does the Lovie plan include?

Accepted Answer

$29/month billed annually ($348/yr) or $39/month billed monthly. Includes LLC or C-Corp formation prepared and submitted, next-day expedited filing in Delaware, EIN application assistance, post-incorporation documents (bylaws, operating agreement, stock purchase agreement and more), registered agent service for 3 years, digital mail scan & forwarding, AI-guided formation, real-time dashboard, priority support, and all future Lovie products included free. State filing fees are billed separately and paid directly to your state.

Question 2

Can I really form a company from my IDE?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

How does billing work?

Accepted Answer

Two options: $29/month billed annually ($348 charged once a year) or $39/month billed monthly. Cancel anytime — no commitment, no contracts. State filing fees are billed separately and paid directly to your state.

Question 4

Can I trust AI with company formation?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

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

Accepted Answer

You launch lean as an LLC, then convert to a Delaware C-Corp when raising VC. Lovie handles the conversion within your subscription — no extra fees.

Question 6

How long does state processing take?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

Is Lovie a law firm?

Accepted Answer

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