A real Illinois attorney files your annual report, acts as registered agent, and keeps your liability shield intact. Flat yearly fee. Cancel anytime.
Most LLC owners don't realize what's at stake until it's already broken. Here's what we see every month.
You formed the LLC three years ago and forgot the anniversary filing. Illinois tacks on a $100 late fee, then moves toward administrative dissolution. A creditor finds out and pierces the veil on a claim that would have been shielded.
You listed yourself as registered agent to save $200. Now a process server shows up at your house while your kids are home, and your rental-property LLC appears in public databases with your personal address attached.
Your registered agent mailed you a notice, you missed the forwarded email, and a default judgment entered against the LLC. No attorney-client privilege means no guidance on the 30-day window to vacate.
All plans are billed once a year on your LLC's anniversary. Cancel anytime before renewal.
Need to form a new LLC first? Our flat-fee formation is $695 and includes your first year of registered agent service. Compliance subscription starts on the anniversary date.
Why an attorney-handled compliance subscription is cheaper than one bad year.

The plan that fits depends on how complicated your LLC actually is.
You run a consulting practice or a small service business under an LLC. The business is simple, you're the only member, and you just want the annual report filed correctly. You use your attorney, CPA, or home address for mail.
