Founder & CEO, EntityEngine

Hi, I'm Oliver Dean.

I built EntityEngine because filing my first LLC felt unnecessarily painful, and I couldn't find a single product that just made it easy.

The story

A few years ago I sat down to form my first LLC. I expected a 20-minute task. What I got was a 1990s Secretary of State website, three competing “formation services” pushing add-ons I didn't need, and a stack of PDFs full of words like resident agent, franchise tax, and foreign qualification with no explanation of what they meant for me.

I've since helped friends file in six different states. Every single time, the friction was the same. Not the filing itself, but the wall of jargon, hidden fees, and the “congratulations, here's an upsell” user experience that most providers ship.

“Forming a company should feel like signing up for a SaaS. Not filing taxes by hand.”
Oliver Dean, on why EntityEngine exists

So I built EntityEngine to be the version of LLC formation I wish I'd had on day one. Pick a state, answer a few clear questions, and we'll file your Articles of Organization, get your EIN, draft your operating agreement, and keep you on top of annual reports, all from a single dashboard.

No legalese. No upsell maze. No surprise renewals. Just a calm, end-to-end product that gets you legally formed and ready to operate.

What I believe

Three things that shape every screen, email, and price you'll see from us.

No legalese

Plain-English questions, clear next steps, and answers without footnotes. If a sentence sounds like it came from a 1998 PDF, we rewrite it.

Founder-friendly pricing

State filing fees are passed through at cost. You see the breakdown before you pay. No upsell labyrinth, no auto-renew traps.

Built for the long run

Registered agent, EIN, operating agreement, and a compliance calendar, so your business is solid the day after filing, not just the day of.

What we do

  • File Articles of Organization with the state on your behalf.
  • Provide registered agent service, EIN, and a tailored operating agreement.
  • Keep you compliant with annual report reminders and a unified document hub.

What we don't do

  • Practice law or give legal advice. We're not a law firm.
  • Provide tax advice. Talk to a CPA for anything tax-strategy related.
  • Charge surprise fees or auto-renew add-ons without your explicit consent.

Ready when you are.

I'd love to help you get your company on solid legal footing, without the jargon, the upsells, or the wait.
