Inside the toolkit · sample

A clear path for a solo founder

This guide focuses on non-US solo consultants and digital-service founders doing their own paperwork. Start by checking fit and costs before choosing a state or paying a provider.

Check that this fits you

  • You want a self-guided formation reference and will submit your own applications.
  • State guides cover Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, Florida and Texas. The quiz has a different, limited shortlist; it does not review every state.
  • Multiple owners, US employees or inventory, regulated activities, and venture funding need individual advice beyond this walkthrough.

Before you spend

  • Confirm why you need a US entity and check the consequences in your country of tax residence.
  • Check banking and payment-provider eligibility for your residence and business activity.
  • Budget for filings, registered-agent renewals and tax preparation. The toolkit price covers guidance only.

What you receive: an online guide you can print or save as PDF, filing links, an editable cost worksheet, annotated examples and a general operating-agreement template. Filing, bank approval and individual legal or tax advice are not included.

Sources and revision

EIN, BOI and federal-reporting references checked 25 September 2026. Provider eligibility and fees can change. This is source-based guidance, not a professional review of your circumstances.

The pieces, in one place.

A closer look at what’s included in your toolkit.

01

State Assessment & Methodology

A starting point across Wyoming, Delaware, New Mexico, Nevada and your operating state. Rule-based guidance, not a full 50-state or personal tax analysis.

  • 6-question assessment with explained trade-offs
  • Two reasoned alternates with trade-offs
02

Formation Checklist & Filing Portals

The exact sequence to form your LLC remotely, with direct links to your state's official filing portal — no middleman markup.

  • Step-by-step formation flow
  • Official Secretary of State portals
03

Registered Agent Shortlist

A registered agent shortlist with direct provider links and prompts to check current pricing and service coverage.

  • Provider comparison links
  • Pricing and coverage checks
04

Non-Resident EIN Walkthrough

Getting an EIN without an SSN is the step that stalls most foreign founders. The toolkit walks Form SS-4 by fax, line by line.

  • Annotated SS-4 field example
  • Fax submission walkthrough
05

Banking & Payment Processors

Banking and payment processor comparison links with prompts to verify eligibility for your residence and business.

  • Banking comparison links
  • Stripe and PayPal requirements
06

Templates & Compliance Calendar

A single-member agreement draft with LLC name and state where provided; a saved formation date can also be filled in. Includes a cost worksheet, completion checklist and first-year planner. Confirm dates yourself.

  • Single-member educational agreement draft
  • First-year planner with in-app reminders for dates you confirm

Before you get started.

What the toolkit does, and what you’ll do yourself.

What’s included?

One-time purchase with access and updates for 1,096 days from purchase. The toolkit includes the personalized state assessment, formation checklist with official filing portals, registered agent shortlist, non-resident EIN walkthrough, banking and payment processor guides, document templates, and a first-year planner with in-app reminders for dates you confirm. Open it through your Whop membership or the private playbook link sent by email.

Is this for non-residents?

It is designed for non-US solo founders preparing their own filings. Bank and payment-provider eligibility still depends on your actual residence, business and documents.

Do you file for me?

No. This is a self-guided digital toolkit. You complete the filings yourself and pay state fees and any third-party service costs separately.

How is my state chosen?

It depends on your answers. The assessment compares states against your business situation and explains the trade-offs behind your recommendation.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. Email hello@makematicai.com within 14 calendar days of purchase for a full refund, no questions asked. Valia handles your request and Whop processes the payment reversal.
