Some services advertise $0. How's that possible?
It’s click bait. Once you add hidden fees, including state filing, EIN, and 1 year of state-required registered agent service, those “zero-fee” packages end up costing about double the all-in, transparent price of looch Start.
They also auto-renew registered agent service for around $200/year. The registered agent included with looch Start renews for $249/year.

Can my business be taxed as an S corporation?
Yes. When creating a corporation with looch Start, you can choose between S and C corporation.
Your LLC or corporation can elect S corporation tax treatment at any time directly in the looch app, at no cost, even if you didn’t create your entity with looch Start. In most cases, looch files the form for you, so there’s nothing to mail.

What's included in the VC-ready package?
You’ll get:
· Company stock purchase agreement (to issue founder shares)
· IP assignment (to ensure the company owns everything you build)

These are the same foundational documents investors expect to see. looch prepares everything for you, so you don’t have to figure it out yourself.
What’s a Section 83(b) election?
If your shares are subject to vesting, this form lets you lock in taxes based on today’s value instead of paying more later as your company grows.
In practice, this means you’re choosing to be taxed now, when your shares are typically worth very little, instead of being taxed later as they vest at a potentially much higher value.
For founders, this can result in significant tax savings.
