Fortress — Formation + Privacy

Shield, plus a business address that is not your home. Fortress is for founders who do not want their home address in a public state database.

Everything in Shield

• Registered agent service, continuously
• Annual report filed every year
• EIN filed with the IRS
• Articles of Organization, operating agreement, compliance calendar

Fortress adds

• Privacy business address you can use on public filings instead of your home
• Mail forwarding with scanning, so you read your business mail wherever you are
• Virtual office address for banking and vendor onboarding

Honest notes

• Your state's filing fee is separate, passed through at cost ($40 to $500 by state). We quote the exact figure before you pay.
• A privacy address is not anonymity. Courts and some agencies can still reach you, and we will comply with a lawful order. Anyone promising true anonymity is selling you something they cannot deliver.
• No nominee officers or managers. We do not offer them at any tier.
