Tools (8)

• get_llc_fees

  Official LLC formation fee, recurring annual-report/franchise-tax cost, processing time, and known gotchas for a single US state, each with its source URL. Covers all 50 states + DC.

• compare_llc_costs

  Rank states by what an LLC actually costs. Compares the one-time formation fee, the recurring state cost, and the combined first-year total. Use this for 'cheapest state to form an LLC' style questions rather than guessing.

• get_annual_report_deadline

  Work out when a state's annual report or franchise tax is next due, the amount owed, and the late penalty. States that key the deadline to the formation anniversary or quarter need formationDate; without it the tool says so instead of guessing a date.

• check_llc_name

  Check a proposed business name against a state's live registry. REAL results for Wyoming and Delaware only; Florida returns a Sunbiz search link; all other states return unsupported. A verdict is an indication, never a reservation — always show the returned note and verifyUrl.

• list_filing_states

  What FilingDesk can do per state: which states it files in today with all-in pricing, which states have real name-checking, and confirmation that fee/deadline data covers all 50 states + DC. Call this before telling a user FilingDesk can file somewhere.

• compare_formation_options

  Factual tradeoffs to help someone decide WHERE to form or WHAT entity type to pick. Returns fixed comparative facts and a required disclaimer — deliberately NOT a recommendation. Present the options neutrally, relay the disclaimer, and let the user choose; a FilingDesk specialist confirms the choice before anything is filed.

• preview_order

  Build an exact order summary WITHOUT submitting anything. No side effects. Validates the details, prices the order, and returns a confirmation summary. ALWAYS call this and show the user the returned summary before calling submit_order.

• submit_order

  Submit a real formation order to FilingDesk. THIS HAS A REAL-WORLD EFFECT: it creates an order and notifies a FilingDesk specialist. Only call after preview_order and after the user has explicitly confirmed the summary. Nothing is charged now — a specialist reviews the order, verifies the name, and emails a payment link. Returns the order reference.
