Tennessee LLCs, today
Start your business once. See every step, fee and deadline for as long as you own it.
Answer about ten questions about your business. We work out what you actually have to do, what it costs, and when it is due — then file the parts you would rather not.
How it works
1
Tell us once.
Your saved owner and business details carry into every task.
2
We compute your plan and every fee.
Required, conditional, recommended and optional steps are kept separate.
3
We file and you track it all here.
Documents, costs, deadlines and live status stay together.
One plan, sorted honestly
Every step split into Required, Conditional, Recommended and Optional — so you can see what the law asks of you and what is just a good idea.
A vault for every document
Articles, EIN letter, operating agreement, licenses. Filed away against the right business, ready when your bank asks.
Deadlines that find you
Annual reports and renewals are calculated from your own fiscal year, not a generic reminder.
Running cost of ownership
What you have paid us and what you have paid the government, kept apart, for the life of each business.
What we promise you
- Unlimited businesses on every plan, including free.
- Government fees passed through at cost, always shown as their own line.
- Your EIN is included with formation — never sold to you separately.
- No forced bundles and no pre-checked add-ons. Cancel any service yourself.
- Nothing is filed before your payment is confirmed.

Questions people ask
- Is the government fee really at cost?
- Yes. It appears as its own line, marked as a pass-through, at exactly what the state or county charges. We never mark it up or hide it inside our fee.
- Do I pay extra for my EIN?
- No. The EIN comes with your formation. If you bring an existing business to us and only want the EIN, it is $19.
- How many businesses can I add?
- As many as you like, on every plan, including the free one.
- Can I do a step myself?
- You can, but you never have to — every available step can be done for you. If you complete one yourself, mark it done here with its confirmation number.
- When do you actually file?
- After your payment is confirmed, never before. A step is only marked done when there is a document and a confirmation number behind it.
- Are you a law firm?
- No. FairBusiness prepares and files documents. We do not give legal advice.
