Editorial Policy

GlobalLLCHub is an independent research publication, not a law or accounting firm. Here is exactly how we research, write, source, and update our content — and what we do not do.

Who writes GlobalLLCHub

Content on this site is researched and written by the GlobalLLCHub Editorial Team — an in-house editorial group operated by Fevantech. We do not publish under fabricated personal bylines or invented credentials. Our work product is collective: data engineers compile primary-source datasets, writers synthesise them into readable explanations, and an editor reviews every change before publication.

The team is intentionally anonymous because the value of this site is the data and methodology — not personal authority. Every figure on this site is verifiable against the primary source linked next to it. That linkage is the trust mechanism, not a byline.

What we publish

Structured datasets — formation fees, annual reports, tax rates, privacy scores, banking accessibility, and processing times for 50 US states + DC and 30+ countries.
Interactive calculators that run entirely in your browser using the dataset above.
Long-form guides explaining how the rules work — pass-through taxation, S-Corp election, BOI compliance, non-resident formation, etc.

What we explicitly do NOT do

We do not give legal advice. We are not a law firm; nothing on this site is an attorney-client communication.
We do not give personalised tax advice. We are not a CPA firm. Engage a licensed CPA before making decisions about your specific situation.
We do not file forms or hold money for users. When we link to a formation service, that service is a separate company with its own contract with you.
We do not invent credentials. No fictitious "Sarah Jenkins, CPA" or similar personas exist on this site.

Source hierarchy (in order of authority)

Statute & regulation: the IRC, Treasury Regulations, state statutes, FinCEN rules, and equivalent foreign legal instruments.
Government publications: IRS Revenue Procedures (e.g., Rev. Proc. 2024-40 for 2025 inflation indexing), state Department of Revenue notices, Secretary of State fee schedules, FinCEN guidance.
Primary registry data: Companies House (UK), e-Resident.gov.ee, ACRA (Singapore), Hong Kong IRD, foreign equivalent registries — for international company data.
Court decisions: Tax Court rulings, Delaware Court of Chancery decisions, Supreme Court precedents (e.g., South Dakota v. Wayfair).
Authoritative secondary sources: Tax Foundation, AICPA, ABA Tax Section, Big-4 jurisdiction guides — used to corroborate, never as the sole source for a numerical claim.

A factual claim on this site is only published if it can be traced to source #1, #2, or #3 above. The link to that source appears on the page itself.

Update cadence

Federal tax brackets: updated within 14 days of the IRS publishing the annual inflation-indexing Revenue Procedure (typically late October).
State filing/annual fees: reviewed quarterly. Most state fee changes are reflected within 30 days of effective date.
FinCEN/BOI rules: updated within 7 days of any FinCEN guidance change.
Foreign country data: reviewed semi-annually and on any major reform (e.g., UAE Corporate Tax 2023, Cyprus IP Box update).
Every page shows a Last reviewed date. If a page hasn’t been reviewed in > 12 months, treat it as potentially out of date and verify with the linked primary source.

Affiliate & conflict-of-interest policy

We earn affiliate commission from six formation/banking services (full list on our affiliate disclosure).
These commercial relationships do not determine which providers we recommend. Our rankings are based on transparent criteria (price, transparency of pricing, customer-reported quality, regulatory standing).
Sponsored content is not accepted. If a provider asks us to write favourably about them in exchange for payment, we decline.
Display advertising (Google AdSense or equivalent) is editorially independent — ad slots do not influence ranking or content.

Corrections

Found a number that is out of date or a rule we explained wrong? Email corrections@fevantech.com with:

The exact page URL
The specific claim that’s wrong
A link to the authoritative source showing the correct figure or rule

We acknowledge corrections within 5 business days and update the page within 14 days. Material corrections (a wrong figure that would change a user’s decision) bump the dateModified on the page and are noted in our changelog.

Privacy & data handling

Every calculator on this site runs entirely in your browser. No financial figure you enter is transmitted to our servers. We don’t track which states or scenarios you model. We do use privacy-respecting analytics (anonymised IP, no third-party cookies) to understand which guides are useful. See our privacy policy.

What this site is — and isn’t — good for

Good for: understanding the cost structure of LLC formation, comparing jurisdictions at a data level, modelling scenarios before talking to a CPA, learning the vocabulary of US business taxation.
Not good for: a substitute for a CPA, attorney, or licensed tax preparer. We are an educational and research publication; you still need a professional for the actual filings, audits, and disputes.

How to evaluate any source — including ours

Apply the same test to GlobalLLCHub that you would to any internet source:

Is the claim backed by a link to the primary source? (Look for direct links to irs.gov, your state SOS, fincen.gov.)
Is there a Last reviewed date? Is it recent?
Does the site claim it is replacing professional advice, or supplementing it? (We say supplementing.)
Does the site disclose its commercial relationships? (We do — see our affiliate disclosure.)
