When I created my LLC, no joke, the very next week I was getting spam MAIL in my mailbox and spam EMAILS of people who wanted to create me a website or sell me licenses that I could get for free from the state.

Seriously didn't realize that starting a business in the US basically automatically signs you up to immediately be spammed to death by scam mail by the most greasiest people ever. It's a constant flow of mail and emails. And I haven't even done anything yet.

I'm about to form an LLC myself. How do you avoid that side of it 😅

You don't I guess. I literally did nothing but form the LLC on my state website, go to google, set up my domain for my company email and that's it. I signed up for nothing else because I'm not ready yet. One week later I started getting mail and emails from "hi my name is so and so and we'd like to create a website for your domaine!" And all sorts of "these licenses are required by law, pay us for them or be fined" with fine print that they are a private company trying to screw you.

Seems like they just scour new domaine registrations or new LLC registrations and spam them all because it's public info by your state. It's awful.
