Codeeo handles business setup services ordering website development in Chicago for formation firms, accounting practices and marketplace operators who want founders to buy Illinois LLC and corporation filings online. Buyers pick a package, answer an intake form, verify identity and pay, while attorneys, CPAs and registered agents on your platform pick up the work, get paid out automatically and keep every order traceable from checkout to the stamped Illinois filing.
Chicago founders range from Fulton Market software teams to family restaurants on the Northwest Side. The platform has to sell to both, explain what the Secretary of State charges versus what you charge, and route each order to a provider who can actually complete it. Cook County suburbs add another layer, since many founders live outside the city but register a Chicago address.

What the platform includes
Company formation services platform development in Chicago means building two products that share one checkout. The buyer side has to make an Illinois LLC or corporation feel simple to purchase, with the state filing fee shown separately from your service fee. The provider side has to give attorneys, accountants and registered agents a reason to join, a clean queue of orders and predictable payouts. Between them sits your operations team, who need to see every stalled order, every rejected filing and every refund request. We design the three views together, beginning with the orders you already handle by email and phone, so the first release mirrors how your Chicago business really works.
Package pages for Illinois LLCs, corporations and nonprofit filings, each listing what the founder receives, which state forms are filed with the Illinois Secretary of State, and which extras such as an EIN application, operating agreement or registered agent year can be added before checkout.
Founders compare packages without calling to ask what is included.
Step by step questions for entity name, members or directors, management structure, principal address and registered agent, with name availability prompts and plain explanations of each Illinois term, saved as the founder goes so an interrupted session picks up where it stopped.
Orders arrive complete enough for a provider to file the same day they accept.
An application flow for attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents and registered agents, with license numbers, service areas, document checks and an internal approval queue. Attorney listings are flagged separately because Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct limit how lawyers share fees with non-lawyers.
Only providers you have checked can accept paid Chicago orders.
If your verification vendor matches a selfie to a photo ID, Illinois BIPA requires a written release before any face geometry is captured, plus a published retention policy. We build that consent screen, record it with an electronic signature and keep a document only option for founders who decline.
Identity checks run without exposing you to biometric privacy claims.
One checkout taking cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or ACH, then splitting the amount into the state filing fee, your platform commission and the provider's share through a marketplace payment product, so funds are held by a licensed processor and not in your own bank account.
Providers are paid on completion and your margin is recorded on every order.
Each order moves through stages such as intake checked, submitted to Springfield, approved, EIN issued and documents delivered. Founders see the stage, providers update it, and your team sees anything that has not moved for too long.
Fewer where is my filing emails and faster rescue of stuck orders.
Optional services after formation, such as help applying for a City of Chicago business license through the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection, or setting up Illinois sales tax registration, each sold and routed to a provider who handles it.
One order grows into the next service a Chicago founder actually needs.
Every Illinois LLC and corporation owes the Secretary of State an annual report. The platform stores each company's anniversary month, emails the founder ahead of it and offers a one click order to have a provider file it, priced and routed like any other marketplace service.
Companies formed on your site keep coming back each year.
Reviews tied to completed orders only, a dispute form that pauses the provider payout, and refund rules that separate a state fee already paid to Illinois from your own refundable service fee.
Disagreements are settled on the record, with money held until they are.
Package pages, intake questions and order emails available in Spanish and Polish alongside English, for the many Chicago founders who prefer to read legal terms in their first language, with providers tagged by the languages they work in.
More completed orders from neighborhoods that English only checkouts lose.
Who this is for
Most of the setup firms we talk to in Chicago already sell formations, just not online in a way that scales. Some take orders by phone and invoice later, some send founders a PDF form, and some list packages on a basic site that cannot route work to anyone. The platform looks different depending on whether you are the only provider, one of several, or purely the operator connecting founders with professionals. Business setup services ordering website design in Chicago starts from that position. These are the four starting points we see most. Each starts with a discovery call that lists products, providers and payout rules before design.
Your margin is in the monthly bookkeeping and tax work that follows the LLC, not the filing itself. We build a formation checkout that hands each new company to an onboarding sequence for your recurring services, with the founder's entity data already in your practice management system, so nobody retypes it. We also connect the new company record to the tools you already use for engagement letters and invoicing, so the hand off is a status change rather than a meeting.
Formation becomes the front door to recurring revenue.
You already hold registered agent appointments for many Illinois companies and want to sell attorneys' and CPAs' services to the same founders. We add provider onboarding, commission rules and payouts around your existing customer base, keeping the annual agent renewal as its own clearly consented subscription. Founders see their agent's address, the documents served on their company and the next renewal date in one account screen.
Renewals follow the Illinois Automatic Contract Renewal Act disclosure rules.
Your attorneys handle operating agreements, corporate minutes and restaurant licensing questions. The site sells defined packages, books a video consultation where advice is needed and keeps privileged intake answers away from any non-lawyer staff who do not need them. Conflict checks run before an attorney accepts the order, and each matter keeps its own message thread and document folder.
You do not file anything yourself. You recruit providers, set the rules, set the commission and own the founder relationship. We build listings, matching by service and language, reviews, dispute handling and the operator console you run the whole Chicago marketplace from. Operator reports show which providers accept quickly, which lose orders to disputes, and which neighborhoods and languages are underserved.
How we work together
Budget is driven by the number of provider types, the payment rules between them, the languages offered and how many systems the platform must talk to. Our team of 80+ across Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi works with Chicago clients remotely, with discovery, design reviews and demos run by video call. Most clients start with a fixed scope first release covering one state and their core packages, then keep a retainer for new add-ons and providers. Operators planning a large multi-provider marketplace sometimes take a dedicated team for a longer program of work. We have delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and are rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We usually pair a React or Next.js storefront with a Laravel or Node back end and a marketplace payment provider. The choice follows your volume, your providers and who maintains the platform after launch. Search, email and identity vendors are chosen in discovery with your counsel involved.

It depends on how many provider types and add-ons sit in the first release.
A single provider storefront selling Illinois LLC packages is a much shorter build than a marketplace with attorneys, CPAs and registered agents, each with their own onboarding and payouts. We agree the first release in discovery, write the scope and dates down, and push secondary features such as reviews or the Polish flow into a later release if that gets you trading sooner. Larger operators often launch with Illinois first and add other states once the provider network is proven.
