Your clients pay for expertise, not navigating state filings. Form your consulting LLC with Lovie — EIN, registered agent, and compliance all included.
You know what you're worth and you know who you want to work with. Lovie forms your firm, gets your EIN, and handles compliance — so your first day as your own boss isn't spent on state filing portals.
You bet on yourself. Now make it official.
You bill $300/hr to solve problems — but you're spending unbillable hours on your own paperwork.
The problem
Enterprise clients require a W-9 and proof of a business entity before they'll even countersign your SOW
$1,500–$3,000 for a business attorney just to set up a basic consulting LLC
Weeks waiting for your EIN before you can open a business account, accept wire transfers, or send invoices
Separate fees for registered agent, compliance monitoring, and mail forwarding — all eating your margins
Missing state filing deadlines while you're heads-down on a client deliverable with a hard deadline
How Lovie solves it
$29/mo — formation, EIN, registered agent, mail, and compliance included
Same-day filing so you can sign SOWs, send W-9s, and invoice clients right away
Lovie recommends the right entity for your practice — solo LLC, multi-member, or S-Corp election
Lovie tracks your state deadlines automatically — no more calendar reminders you forget to act on
Professional business address included — looks polished on proposals and engagement letters
Lovie handles every step. Formation to compliance. No surprises.
Enterprise-ready before your first invoice.
Fortune 500 Procurement Won't Wait
Large company procurement needs your W-9, proof of entity, and insurance certificates before they'll process your first invoice. Lovie gets you there in hours, not weeks.
Scales With Your Practice
Solo LLC today. Multi-member LLC when you bring on a partner. S-Corp election when your revenue justifies it. Lovie handles each transition — no extra legal fees.
Your Time Has a Billing Rate
At $300/hr, a single billable hour covers your entire monthly Lovie subscription. The 10+ hours you'd spend on formation paperwork? That's $3,000 back in your pocket.
Built for advisors who solve problems, not fill out forms.
Client-Ready Before Your Non-Compete Expires
Tell Lovie about your consulting practice. It files your LLC, gets your EIN, and sets up your registered agent — so you can send SOWs, sign contracts, and start billing the week you go independent.
Keep Your Margins, Not Legal Bills
$29/mo covers formation, registered agent, mail scanning, and EIN. That's $2,000+ in attorney fees you can put toward CRM software, a professional website, or your first subcontractor.
Liability Protection for Client Engagements
Consulting means giving advice people act on. If a client claims your recommendation cost them money, an LLC keeps the dispute between your business and the client — not your personal savings.
Solo Practice to Boutique Firm
Start as a single-member LLC. When you bring on associates or equity partners, Lovie handles the entity restructuring — multi-member LLC, S-Corp election, or C-Corp conversion. All included.
Consult Globally, Incorporate in the US
International consultants form US LLCs to invoice American clients, accept wire transfers, and build credibility with enterprise buyers. Lovie handles everything remotely — no US visit required.
Compliance That Doesn't Interrupt Client Work
Annual reports, franchise taxes, state filings — Lovie tracks every deadline and handles renewals. You have enough deadlines with client deliverables.
Questions consultants actually ask before incorporating.
I just left a Big Four firm. Do I really need an LLC right away?
Yes — and quickly. Enterprise clients require a W-9 and proof of business entity before they'll process your first invoice. Without an LLC, you're also personally liable for any contract disputes. Lovie can have your LLC formed same-day so you can start billing immediately.
Should my consulting firm be an LLC or S-Corp?
Most solo consultants start with an LLC for simplicity and liability protection. Once you're consistently earning above $80K–$100K/yr, an S-Corp election can save you thousands in self-employment taxes. Lovie walks you through the tradeoffs and can help you make the S-Corp election when the time is right.
I consult for clients in multiple states. Do I need to register in each one?
If you have a physical office or significant ongoing business activity in a state, you may need to foreign-qualify your LLC there. Many remote consultants only need their home state formation. Lovie helps you understand when foreign qualification applies and handles the filings.
What does the $29/mo include for consultants?
Everything: LLC or C-Corp formation filing fees, EIN registration, registered agent service, digital mail scanning, compliance guidance, and a real-time dashboard. No add-ons, no surprise fees. Cancel anytime.
How do I get set up to invoice my first client?
Lovie submits your filing the moment you approve it. Wyoming often processes same-day. Delaware within 1-3 business days. Once your entity is formed and EIN is filed, you can open a business bank account, send W-9s, and start invoicing.
Can I add a partner or associate to my LLC later?
Yes. Your operating agreement can be amended to add members. If you need to bring on equity partners, Lovie helps you restructure from a single-member to multi-member LLC — or convert to a C-Corp. All included in your subscription.
What about professional liability (E&O) insurance?
Lovie handles entity formation and compliance. Professional liability insurance (Errors & Omissions) is purchased separately from insurance providers. Many consulting clients — especially enterprise and government contracts — require proof of E&O coverage.
I'm an international consultant with US clients. Can I use Lovie?
Absolutely. Many international consultants form Delaware or Wyoming LLCs through Lovie to invoice US clients, accept wire transfers, and open US bank accounts. No US address, SSN, or in-person visit required.
