Stripe Atlas

Stripe Atlas is a self-service startup incorporation service for forming a US company in Delaware. It supports C corporations, LLCs, and subsidiaries, and automates incorporation documents, the company tax ID (EIN), founder equity issuance, and 83(b) election filing. After incorporation, Atlas provides registered-agent maintenance, startup resources, fundraising document workflows, and access to Stripe financial products and partner discounts. The official page lists a $500 one-time setup fee including government fees and the first year of registered-agent service, followed by $100 annually for registered-agent maintenance; incorporation is a legal and tax-sensitive decision, and Atlas is not a law firm.

💳 Pricing

Atlas charges US$500 once for company setup, including government fees and the first year of registered-agent service. Registered-agent maintenance then renews automatically at US$100 annually unless cancelled. Fundraising document workflows included with Atlas do not make company formation free.

The current page advertises a US$500 Atlas-fee rebate when an eligible company deposits US$5,000 into a Stripe Treasury account. This is a conditional offer, rather than a free plan; check account eligibility and offer terms. See official Atlas pricing.
