How to use the result

Use this as a planning checklist before you file. A formation service can help with paperwork, but it cannot fix a weak banking route, unclear tax residency, missing compliance calendar or unsupported payment processor after the company already exists.

Use the official filing links and linked guides to complete the steps yourself. If you later decide you want professional help, the dashboard keeps that as an optional secondary route.
