Each piece, explained

LLC filing assistance

We help you prepare and submit your LLC paperwork with your state. The state charges its own filing fee, which is separate from our service fee and paid to the state.

EIN assistance

An EIN is your federal tax ID number. It's issued by the IRS for free — we simply help you apply correctly. There is no government fee for an EIN.

Domain names

We help you choose, register and connect a web address that matches your business name.

Professional email

A you@yourbusiness.com address through Google Workspace, set up on your phone and computer. A domain name is required — we can help you register one if you don't have it yet.

Google Business Profile

Get your business on Google Maps with the right hours, photos and contact details.

Important to know

Icy Owl is not a law firm, attorney, CPA or tax adviser, and nothing we do is legal or tax advice. We help with the practical steps of getting set up. If you have legal or tax questions about your business structure, we recommend talking with a qualified professional.
