Today, we're excited to launch Rho Incorporation, available directly in our sign-up flow.
Every company starts the same way. There's an idea, there's momentum, and then there's paperwork. Founders typically spend days or weeks between deciding to start a company and actually operating one.
Find an incorporation service or a lawyer. Wait on filings. Wait on an EIN. Only then can you apply for a business bank account. Each step lives in a different tool, with its own wait.
Rho Incorporation forms an attorney-reviewed Delaware C-corp, typically filed within about 24 hours of the next business day after you submit your information, and it forms LLCs too. Start your Rho business account application in the same flow, subject to approval, without switching tabs.
Highlights
A simple questionnaire. Company name, founder details, equity split.
Typically filed within about 24 hours of the next business day. About 80% of filings complete within about 24 hours of the next business day after you submit your information. Registered agent covered for year one.
Every document reviewed by a licensed attorney. Certificate of incorporation, bylaws, board consents, stock agreements, 83(b)s.
Your business account application can open in the same flow, subject to approval. Funds cannot move until the IRS issues your EIN and it attaches to your account.
How it works
You complete the questionnaire inside the Rho application. From there, a licensed attorney reviews and signs off on every document, your Delaware C-corp is typically filed within about 24 hours of the next business day after you submit your information, and your SS-4 (EIN application) is prepared and submitted on your behalf.
Rho incorporates your Delaware C corp for $400. That price includes your registered agent for the first year, and your Rho business account application can open in the same flow, subject to approval.
Rho Incorporation now forms LLCs too, for $349 all-in with the state filing fee included.
Your account application opens while you wait on the IRS
The IRS issues an EIN on its own timeline, and your account application can start before it arrives.
Rho runs the two in parallel. Your business account application can open in the same flow as your incorporation, subject to approval, so the setup is already underway while the IRS processes your EIN. Once your EIN is issued, it attaches to your account, and funds can move from there.
Ready the moment your account is approved
Banking, invoicing, cards, and bill pay, all live the moment your account is approved, with no second application.
That means your entity and your account application are set up in a single sitting, and funds can move once the IRS issues your EIN and it attaches to your account.
How to get started
You can see the whole flow end to end at incorporatewithrho.com. When you're ready, sign up and start filing.
Your Delaware C-corp is attorney-reviewed and typically filed within about 24 hours of the next business day, and your account application opens in the same flow, subject to approval.
