What does the Doola Starter plan actually include?

Starter covers the four building blocks a non-resident needs to stand up a US company. You get your LLC formed with the state, an EIN from the IRS obtained without an SSN, a US business address, and a registered agent. Wyoming is the default state, though you can choose otherwise. Together these let you operate as a real company and begin conversations with banks and payment providers.

Two of those items are worth calling out because founders underestimate them. The registered agent and US address are bundled into the annual plan, so they renew with it rather than being one-time extras, and both are things non-residents genuinely need but rarely have on their own. Having them included is a large part of why Starter is more than a bare filing service.

It is just as important to know what Starter does not include. It does not file your taxes and does not do your bookkeeping. Those are on the Tax and Compliance tier at $1,999 a year and the Business-in-a-Box tier at $2,999 a year, with standalone Pulse bookkeeping available at $300 a year. If you expected tax filing at the Starter price, you would need to step up a tier or handle filing yourself.

Starter is the right plan if you want formation and the essential company scaffolding without paying for ongoing tax and accounting services yet. It is not enough on its own if your main reason for using Doola is to have your US taxes filed for you, in which case you should look at a tax tier and confirm exactly what it files. You can always start on Starter and add services later if your needs grow.

One caveat for tax-focused buyers: the pricing page does not itemize specific IRS forms by name, so if filing forms like 1120 and 5472 matters to you, that is handled on the tax tiers, and you should get written confirmation of coverage. Prices are as-of-2026, so confirm at checkout.
