What is included in the Firstbase $399 formation fee?
Quick answer
The $399 covers forming a US company in Wyoming or Delaware, a US EIN, a US business address, a Mercury bank account setup, and unlimited support including legal and tax consultation. State filing fees are separate.
The one-time $399 Firstbase fee is fairly complete for getting a company off the ground. It includes forming your US company (LLC or C-corp) in Wyoming or Delaware, obtaining your US EIN, a US business address, setup of a US business bank account with Mercury, and unlimited support that extends to legal advice and tax consultation. For a founder, that covers the hard first steps in one purchase.
What is not in the $399 are the recurring services: registered agent renewal (from $299 per state per year), the Mailroom mailbox (from $35 per month) if you want mail scanning, and annual tax filing (around $1,799). The formation fee gets you a live, bankable company; keeping it compliant year over year is the separate ongoing spend.
The included Mercury setup and EIN are the parts non-resident founders care about most, since those are the usual friction points when creating a US company from abroad. Having them bundled into the formation fee is a meaningful convenience.
This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Confirm exactly what your state and situation require beyond the formation fee with a qualified professional before budgeting.
