You're a designer, not a legal expert. Form your creative agency LLC with Lovie — EIN, registered agent, and compliance handled so you can focus on client work.
You pick the clients now. Lovie makes sure the business behind the work is real — entity, EIN, registered agent, compliance. Sign contracts and invoice without operating under your personal name.
No more creating for others. Build one that's yours.
You should be designing — not deciphering state filing portals.
The problem
$1,000–$2,000 for a business attorney to set up your agency LLC
Waiting weeks for your EIN before you can invoice clients or open a business account
Enterprise clients won't sign your SOW without proof of a business entity
Separate fees for registered agent, compliance monitoring, and mail forwarding
Missing state filing deadlines while you're heads-down on a design sprint
How Lovie solves it
$29/mo — formation, EIN, registered agent, mail, and compliance included
Same-day filing so you can sign contracts, invoice clients, and open accounts
Lovie recommends the right entity structure for your creative business
Compliance deadlines tracked automatically so you never lose good standing
Professional business address included — looks polished on proposals and contracts
Lovie handles every step. Formation to compliance. Zero surprises.
Your work. Your entity. Your rules.
No Back-and-Forth
Formation usually means phone calls, PDFs, and waiting. Describe your business, review the documents, approve. You're back to client work in an afternoon.
One Price, Everything Covered
No hidden fees, no upsells. $29/mo covers formation, registered agent, and ongoing compliance — more budget for the tools you actually use.
Protect Your Work
If a client dispute gets ugly, your LLC means your savings and personal portfolio stay out of it. That protection is worth more than the filing fee.
Built for creatives who make things, not fill out forms.
Agency-Ready in One Conversation
Tell Lovie about your creative business. It handles the LLC formation, EIN, registered agent, and compliance — you review and approve. Get back to designing, directing, and delivering for clients.
One Price, More Budget for Your Craft
$29/mo covers formation, registered agent, mail scanning, and EIN. Every dollar saved on legal fees is a dollar for equipment, software licenses, and talent.
Protect Your Personal Assets
Client disputes, IP disagreements, and scope creep lawsuits happen in creative work. An LLC separates your personal finances from your agency's liabilities. If a client sues, your savings are safe.
From Freelancer to Agency
Start as a solo LLC freelancer. When you hire your first designer or bring on a creative partner, Lovie scales with you — same simple process, no extra legal fees.
Form Anywhere, Incorporate in the US
International designers and creative directors form US LLCs to work with American clients. Lovie handles the entire process remotely — no US address or visit required.
Compliance That Handles Itself
Annual reports, franchise taxes, state filings — Lovie tracks everything and reminds you before anything is due. You have enough deadlines with client deliverables.
Questions about starting your creative agency.
Do I need an LLC to do freelance design work?
You can freelance without one, but an LLC protects your personal assets from client disputes, IP claims, and contract issues. It also looks more professional — many enterprise clients and agencies require you to have a business entity before they'll sign a contract.
Should my creative agency be an LLC or a C-Corp?
Most creative agencies start as LLCs — they're simpler, offer pass-through taxation, and provide personal liability protection. If you plan to take on investors or scale aggressively, a C-Corp may make sense later. Lovie walks you through the tradeoffs.
What does the $29/mo include for creative businesses?
Everything: LLC or C-Corp formation filing fees, EIN registration, registered agent service, digital mail scanning, guided compliance, and a real-time dashboard. One price. No add-ons. Cancel anytime.
How soon can I get my EIN to set up invoicing and payment processing?
Lovie files your EIN with the IRS as soon as your entity is formed. You'll need your EIN to open a business bank account, set up Stripe or PayPal Business, and invoice clients professionally.
Can I use a business address on my proposals and contracts?
Yes. Lovie includes a professional business address with digital mail scanning. You can use this address on proposals, invoices, and your website — keeping your home address private and looking more established.
What about intellectual property protection?
An LLC protects your personal assets from business liabilities, but it doesn't automatically protect your intellectual property. For trademark, copyright, or patent protection, consult an IP attorney. Lovie handles the business entity formation side.
I work with subcontractors. Does my LLC cover that?
Your LLC protects you as the business owner. When hiring subcontractors, you'll issue 1099s under your LLC's EIN. Make sure your contracts clearly define work-for-hire and IP ownership terms.
Can I add a creative partner to my LLC later?
Yes. Your LLC operating agreement can be amended to add partners. If you need to restructure for investors, Lovie can also convert your LLC to a C-Corp — included in your subscription.
