We Believe Starting a Business Should Be as Simple as Having a Conversation
No forms. No jargon. No hidden fees. Just an honest conversation about your business, and we handle the rest.
Why We Built Sedes
We started Sedes because we were tired of getting ripped off.
When we formed our first LLC, we used one of the big-name services. The "$79 formation" turned into $500+ after all the upsells. They charged us $99 to file an EIN — something the IRS lets you do for free on their website. They recommended Delaware for a business that only operated in one state. They sold us a "compliance package" that was basically a calendar reminder.
We looked at each other and said: "This entire industry is built on confusion."
So we built something better. Sedes uses AI to guide you through business formation the way a knowledgeable friend would — with honest advice, transparent pricing, and no hidden agenda. We tell you when something is free. We recommend what is right for your situation, not what makes us the most money.
Starting a business is a big moment. It should feel exciting, not stressful. That is what Sedes is here to do.
What We Stand For
Three principles that guide everything we build.
Transparency
We tell you when something is free. We show you state fees before you pay. We explain what every service actually does — and whether you really need it.
Honesty
We recommend what is right for your situation, not what is expensive. If you do not need a service, we will tell you. If you can do something yourself for free, we will show you how.
Simplicity
One conversation, not 47 forms. Our AI asks the right questions in plain English, gives you clear answers, and handles the paperwork behind the scenes.
Built by Engineers and Entrepreneurs
We are a small team of people who have formed businesses, dealt with compliance headaches, and been frustrated by every existing solution. We combine deep experience in AI, product design, and business operations to build the formation platform we wish existed.
We are based in the United States, fully bootstrapped, and laser focused on making business formation honest and simple.
Important: We Are Not a Law Firm
Sedes is a technology platform that provides business formation filing services and general educational information. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, tax advice, or accounting advice. For specific legal, tax, or financial questions about your situation, please consult a licensed professional in your state. We are happy to help you find one.
