The American Dream shouldn't have an entry fee.

We started The American LLC to abolish the "Gatekeeper Tax" and make business formation transparent, affordable, and accessible to everyone.

For too long, starting a business has been a trap.

You had two bad choices: pay a lawyer $1,500 to file paperwork you could do yourself, or use a "free" service that holds your documents hostage until you pay $300 in hidden fees.

We call this The Gatekeeper Tax. And we built this platform to abolish it.

The Industry Problem

Most websites aren't trying to help you. They're trying to sell you.

  • They hide real costs

    You never see the state fees until the final checkout page.

  • They sell your data

    Sign up for a "free guide" and your phone starts ringing with spam.

  • They profit from confusion

    They make DIY forms scarier than they are to force upgrades.

The Solution

We built The American LLC to be the antidote to that confusion.

We are an independent educational resource dedicated to a single mission: Giving you the guidance you can trust.
