Common Questions
Is the $49 the total cost?
No, the $49 is Stratefile's service fee for the professional work we do. Washington State also charges a mandatory $200 filing fee paid to the Secretary of State. Total cost: $249 ($49 + $200 state fee). This includes same-day filing, operating agreement, 1 year registered agent, and privacy protection.
What about the EIN? Is it included?
We include FREE step-by-step EIN application guidance. If you want us to handle the entire IRS application for you, add Full-Service EIN Filing for $75.
What happens after year 1 for the registered agent?
The first year of registered agent service is included free. Starting year 2, it renews at $99/year. You'll receive a reminder 30 days before renewal and can cancel anytime from your dashboard.
What is the Seattle Privacy Shield?
Washington LLC filings are public record. Your registered agent address (ours) appears instead of your home address on all public documents. This keeps your home private and protects you from unsolicited mail.
Do I need the monthly add-ons?
No — the $249 core package ($49 + $200 state fee) gives you a fully-formed, compliant Washington LLC. The website bundle ($19/mo) and business address ($15/mo) are optional services for entrepreneurs who want a complete professional online presence.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) and debit cards via our secure Stripe checkout.
