Rho Incorporation: Streamlining Business Formation and Banking

In the fast-paced world of startups and entrepreneurship, Rho is setting a new standard with its latest offering: Rho Incorporation. This innovative service allows founders to establish a Delaware C corporation or Limited Liability Company (LLC) directly through the Rho platform while applying for a business account in a single, smooth process.

What's New about Rho Incorporation?

Previously, starting a business often meant navigating a maze of paperwork and waiting for approvals. Rho aims to eliminate much of that legwork. With Rho Incorporation, entrepreneurs can select between forming a C corp for $400 or an LLC for $349 - both bundled with their business account application seamlessly integrated into the flow.

Rho's CEO and co-founder, Everett Cook, noted, “AI is empowering individual founders to create businesses that were once the realm of teams. However, the initial hurdles of paperwork and procedural delays remain a significant barrier.” By merging the incorporation process with banking, Rho is dedicated to simplifying the startup experience and encouraging more individuals to launch their ventures.

Incorporation Made Easy

The incorporation process with Rho is straightforward and user-friendly. Founders begin by filling out a short questionnaire that includes necessary information such as the desired company name and owner details; for C corporations, specifics on equity splits are also collected.

Key Features:

• - C Corporation ($400): Best suited for those planning to seek venture capital, this package includes everything needed to get started: the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, board consents, stock purchase agreements, and assistance with the 83(b) election. Notably, the first year of registered agent service is also included, and Rho handles the submission of the SS-4 (EIN application) on the founder's behalf.

• - LLC ($349): Designed for non-venture businesses such as consultancies, agencies, or freelancers—you can form an LLC in any of the 50 states. All state filing fees are included, and startup approval times typically range from two to three business days, depending on the state. Again, Rho prepares and submits the EIN application automatically.

Parallel Processing for Faster Access to Banking

Traditionally, businesses would navigate the incorporation process first and then wait for their Employer Identification Number (EIN) before applying for a business account. Rho disrupts this age-old sequence by allowing applications for business accounts and EINs to occur concurrently. Once approved, businesses can access banking, invoicing, cards, and payment processing right away.

A Note on Availability

Currently, Rho Incorporation is available for standard formations of LLCs and Delaware C corporations. Non-standard equity arrangements or custom terms may require separate handling. It's also important to remember that the time taken for approval can vary based on Delaware's processing queues, which may be as much as two to four business days.
