What does 'free formation' actually mean?
Kicker charges $0 in service fees on the Starter plan. You only pay the state filing fee, which goes directly to the state government and varies by state (e.g., Wyoming $100, Delaware $110, Florida $125). There are no Kicker markups, processing fees, or hidden charges.
Can I upgrade my plan after I've formed my company?
Yes. You can upgrade from Starter to Kicker or Booster at any time from your dashboard. You'll pay the difference in plan price and the upgraded services — like registered agent or EIN — will activate immediately.
Is the state fee included in the prices shown?
No. Prices shown are Kicker's service fees only. The state filing fee is added at checkout and goes directly to the state. We show the exact state fee for every state before you confirm your order, so there are never surprises.
What's covered by the 30-day money-back guarantee?
We refund Kicker's service fees in full within 30 days of purchase if you're not satisfied — no questions asked. State filing fees are paid directly to the state and cannot be refunded once submitted.
Do I need a registered agent and is it included?
Every business entity is legally required to maintain a registered agent in its state of formation. The Starter plan does not include this — you can add it as an annual service ($79/yr) or choose the Kicker plan, which includes registered agent for one year.
What is BOI filing and why is it included in Kicker?
Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reporting is a federal requirement under the Corporate Transparency Act. As of FinCEN's interim final rule (effective March 26, 2025), entities created in the United States (domestic reporting companies) and their US-person beneficial owners are exempt from filing BOI with FinCEN — only entities formed abroad and registered to do business in the US must report. Booster, Founder, and Kicker plans include BOI filing support for the companies that still have a reporting obligation, handled by our compliance team.
How long does formation take?
Most formations complete within 1–7 business days depending on the state. Wyoming and Delaware typically process in 1–3 days. States like California and New York take longer. We show the estimated processing window for every state before checkout.
Can I form a US company from outside the United States?
Yes — founders around the world use Kicker to form US companies. We handle all the US-side requirements: formation, EIN application, registered agent, and compliance. Non-US founders without an SSN should choose the Kicker plan for ITIN assistance.
