MyCorporation’s application takes about 10 minutes to fill out, but which package and add-ons you pick determines whether your first-year cost is $99 or well over $250. I run Ecommerce Paradise, where I teach high-ticket dropshipping, and getting your LLC formation right the first time saves you from costly amendments later.
Here is exactly how to set up an LLC with MyCorporation, step by step.
| Step | What You’re Doing | Time Required |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Choose your state and confirm your business name | 15-20 minutes |
| 2 | Pick your package tier | 10 minutes |
| 3 | Complete the online application | 10 minutes |
| 4 | Watch for upsells at checkout | 5 minutes |
| 5 | Wait for filing confirmation | Varies, undisclosed timeline |
| 6 | Apply for your EIN and open a business bank account | 30-45 minutes |

Step 1: Choose Your State and Confirm Your Business Name
Decide which state you’re forming in, typically your home state for a straightforward high-ticket dropshipping LLC, and run a name availability search before applying. MyCorporation includes this search as part of every package.
Step 2: Pick Your Package Tier
If you need a registered agent right away, which most new LLCs do, you’ll need the Deluxe tier at $224 plus state fees, since Basic and Standard don’t include one. Compare this against Northwest Registered Agent at $39 with a full year of registered agent included before committing, since the price gap is significant for equivalent core service.
Step 3: Complete the Online Application
The application itself is straightforward and takes roughly 10 minutes according to independent testing. Have your business name, registered agent state, and member information ready before you start to move through it efficiently.
Step 4: Watch for Upsells at Checkout
Multiple independent reviews document upsell attempts during the MyCorporation checkout and phone process. Know what you actually need before you start, whether that’s an operating agreement, EIN filing, or additional compliance services, so you’re not talked into add-ons you don’t need.
Step 5: Wait for Filing Confirmation
MyCorporation doesn’t publish a specific standard turnaround time, so ask directly for an estimate if your timeline is time-sensitive. The $100 rush filing add-on claims to expedite processing but without a disclosed baseline, weigh whether it’s worth paying for.
Step 6: Apply for Your EIN and Open a Business Bank Account
Once your LLC is approved, apply for your EIN and open a dedicated business bank account before you start operating. This separation protects your liability shield and keeps your business formation clean from day one.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The most common mistake is picking Basic or Standard without realizing neither includes a registered agent, then discovering you need to upgrade or pay separately later. The second is not budgeting for the mandatory $34 shipping fee that applies to every order regardless of tier.
