automation of an LLC seems like a pretty dangerous thing considering you are trying to automate dealing with 1) secretary of state and 2) irs and 3) creation of a business bank account.... does this really need to be automated? it seems like a solution looking for a problem. It also seems like a minefield from an automation perspective because there are too many errors that can happen through automation at each step in this process. Its mostly an information gathering process for step one and step two, step three is information gathering and verification of what you submitted... it takes a few hours to this by yourself online and in person at the bank, and when it fails, you will need various humans in each step to figure out what went wrong. For example, IRS.gov will block on SS4 filings for various reasons, i.e. only one filing per day.. Seems too error prone to try and automate, and I bet they are using screen scrape tools to do it and so its probably going to break when the endpoint changes any form variables too..
