Frequently Asked Questions
Getting Started
How do I get started with SparkLaunch?
Sign up, explore the free tools, and move into the one-time incorporation package when you are ready to form a Delaware C-Corp inside SparkLaunch.
What information do I need to provide to incorporate my business?
You'll need your company name, founder details, officer assignments, incorporator information, share split, and the consents needed for the formation workflow. SparkLaunch guides you step by step through those inputs.
How long does the incorporation process take?
Timeline depends on founder verification, Delaware processing, IRS timing, and whether follow-up is required. SparkLaunch shows status updates as the workflow moves from intake through filing and post-formation documents.
Pricing & Plans
What's included in the free plan?
The free plan includes one use each of Idea Engine, business names, logos, and color palettes, plus SparkScore Lite, a landing page builder with 10 leads, sales CRM with 25 leads, cap table basics, SAFE tracking, dilution scenarios, investor share links, and community access.
How much does the incorporation package cost?
The base Incorporation Package is $499 one-time. It covers the SparkLaunch Delaware C-Corp formation workflow, EIN workflow support, founder stock issuance, the 83(b) Election Kit, and post-incorporation guidance. Delaware filing fees and registered-agent charges may be handled separately from the initial checkout.
Are there any recurring fees?
After incorporation, you can stay on the free tier or move to Startup ($40/mo monthly or $399/yr) or Growth ($180/mo monthly or $1,799/yr). Delaware franchise tax, annual report obligations, filing fees, and registered-agent charges are separate from subscription pricing.
Do you offer monthly and yearly billing?
Yes. Startup and Growth can be billed monthly or yearly on the pricing page. Yearly billing lowers the effective monthly cost, while the Incorporation Package remains a separate one-time purchase.
Business Formation
Should I choose LLC or Corporation?
SparkLaunch focuses on Delaware C-Corps because that structure is commonly used for venture-style fundraising, founder equity, and standard startup governance. LLCs can still make sense in other situations, but they are outside this workflow.
How does SparkLaunch handle 83(b) elections?
SparkLaunch includes an 83(b) Election Kit with deadline tracking, Form 15620 pre-fill, filing guidance, and proof storage for eligible restricted stock events. It provides workflow support and recordkeeping, not legal or tax advice.
What happens after my business is incorporated?
After incorporation, SparkLaunch delivers the generated formation documents into your project, helps record founder stock issuance, surfaces 83(b) follow-up where it applies, and gives you a post-incorporation checklist so the next steps stay organized.
Banking & Finance
How do you help with business banking?
We provide guidance on selecting the right business bank, help prepare required documentation, and can facilitate introductions to our partner banks. We work with modern digital banks that offer better features for startups.
Do I need business credit cards?
Business credit cards help separate personal and business expenses, build business credit, and often provide valuable rewards. We can help you compare options and apply for cards suited to your business needs.
When should I set up business banking?
You should set up business banking immediately after incorporation. Having a business bank account is often required for tax purposes and helps maintain the legal separation between you and your business entity.
Branding & Design
What branding materials do you provide?
Our starter branding package includes color palette generation, logo placeholder concepts, basic brand guidelines, business document templates, and social media account setup assistance.
Can I use the AI color palette generator for free?
Yes! Our AI color palette generator is completely free and allows you to create professional color schemes from text descriptions or uploaded images. Perfect for early-stage brand development.
Do you create custom logos?
We provide logo placeholder concepts and guidelines as part of the starter package. For custom logo design, we can connect you with our partner designers or provide recommendations for professional design services.
Account & Security
How secure is my data?
SparkLaunch uses administrative, technical, and organizational controls designed to protect data, including access controls, encryption in transit, and audit or event logging in key workflows. Some formation intake data is encrypted at rest. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and our Privacy Policy explains the details.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, you can request account deletion at any time. We will permanently delete all your personal data within 30 days of your request, except for legally required business records related to completed incorporations.
How do I update my account information?
You can update your account information in your dashboard profile section. For sensitive changes like business entity details after incorporation, please contact our support team for assistance.
