its not really the agent that slows things down, most of them submit the paperwork within 24 hours anyway. the real bottleneck is the state processing time and getting the EIN. if you choose wyoming or new mexico, the state part usually takes like 2 or 3 days max. but if you are non-us and dont have an ssn, the EIN is what actually takes time because you have to fax it to the irs and wait weeks. if you have an ssn you can just get the EIN online instantly once the state approves the filing.
