$29 · AI-Native Company Formation
Looking for 100 iOS developers
Looking for iOS developers. We'll form your company — free.
I'll do the filing with you: company type, name, registered agent and the state's paperwork.
Have you formed a company before?
I'll explain each choice as we go. For a solo software company, a Wyoming LLC is the usual low-cost choice. There's no board to run, and you don't need a US address or SSN.
What should it be called?
No trademark conflicts for Northwind Labs, LLC, and the domain is free. I've drafted your Articles of Organization and added your registered agent. Read it all before I send anything.
Submit it to the state?
Sent to the Wyoming Secretary of State. The state decides how long its review takes.
What it costs
The lowest total price we could find.
$29 to form, plus a registered agent at $79/year ($49 in Wyoming) and your state's filing fee.

What you get
What Lovie does for your company.
01 / Formation
LLC and C-Corp formation
Form an LLC or C-Corp in Wyoming, Delaware or any other state. Lovie prepares the documents and files them with the state. You read and approve everything first.
02 / Setup
A company you can use
Once the state approves it, your company legally exists. It can sign contracts and hire people. Founders outside the US do all of this remotely, with no SSN or US address.
03 / Agent
Registered agent
Every state requires one. It's the address that gets official mail for your company, and it goes on public records instead of your home address. We're your agent in your formation state for $79 a year ($49 in Wyoming), and we scan that mail to your dashboard.
04 / Compliance
Deadline reminders
Most states want a yearly report and fee. We remind you before each one is due, so you don't pay a late penalty.
05 / AI Tools
Works with your AI tools
Use ChatGPT, Claude or Cursor? Connect Lovie and ask about your company: what's been filed, what's due next, where each document is.
FAQ
iOS Founder Program — common questions
Who is this for?
Mobile founders building iOS or cross-platform apps who are ready to form a real company behind their product. You can be pre-launch, in TestFlight, or already shipping on the App Store.
How do I apply?
Email support@lovie.co with three short sections: who you are, what the app does, and how you want to form (entity type, state, timing). The hero CTA opens a pre-filled email template — fill in the blanks and send.
What does ‘free’ actually cover?
If you're selected, Lovie waives the plan fee for the program window. Lovie is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
How many founders will you select?
Up to 100. Selection is rolling — earlier applications get reviewed first. We'll reply within a few business days whether your application moves forward.
What if I'm not selected?
You can still form your company with Lovie at the standard plan — $29 one-time — formation and filing prep, with registered agent at $79/year. No credit card to start. State filing fees are paid separately, directly to your state.
Which states can you form in?
All 50 US states. Most app founders pick Delaware (investor-ready C-Corp), Wyoming (low-cost LLC), or their home state. Lovie's flow guides the choice.
I'm not based in the US — can I apply?
Yes. Formation is open to non-US founders forming a US entity. Mention your country in the email so we can route you to the right state and registered agent.
Is Lovie a law firm?
No. Lovie is a technology platform that prepares and submits formation filings. We are not a law firm or accounting firm. Consult a licensed attorney for personalized legal advice.
Why do I need a company for an iOS app at all?
Apple lets you publish as an individual, but a company gives you three things individuals don't get: liability protection (the LLC absorbs lawsuits, not your personal savings), a real payment entity for Stripe/RevenueCat, and a Business-grade Apple Developer Program account (better for tax reporting and team access).
What entity type should my app company be?
If you're a solo developer staying solo: a Wyoming LLC — cheapest, strongest privacy, simplest taxes. If you have co-founders or plan to raise from a VC: a Delaware C-Corp. If you're somewhere in between (small team, no VC plans): a Delaware LLC. Lovie's chat recommends based on your specific plan; if selected for free formation, we walk you through the choice.
How long does formation take if I'm selected?
Once we have your application, your filing is submitted once you confirm the entity and state. State approval varies: Delaware processes within 1–3 business days, Wyoming often same-day, other states 1–2 weeks. Note that Apple requires a D-U-N-S number for organization accounts, and issuance times for those vary as well.
