If there's an error in your formation caused by our service, we refund that portion of your payment — no questions asked. State fees paid to the government aren't refundable once filed.
Yes — add EIN, registered agent, mail forwarding, or bookkeeping at any time from your client portal, even if you started on the Basic plan.
