the formation-docs banner — what it's checking

if you're missing core paperwork, the banner at the top of oyster nags you with the specific gaps. it's checking against the requirements for your entity type (sole prop / llc / s-corp / c-corp / partnership).

3 steps~2 min
  1. 1

    the banner appears when you're missing one of

    articles of organization (or articles of incorporation for a corp), ein letter, operating agreement (llc) / bylaws (corp), registered-agent confirmation.

  2. 2

    tap any missing item

    deep-links to the upload flow with the right category pre-selected. you only have to pick the file.

  3. 3

    the banner disappears when complete

    no more nag. oyster also stops the cron-fired bell reminders for the formation-docs gap.

    tip

    if you genuinely don't have one of these (lost the operating agreement, never got the ein letter), tackle it now. the irs will mail you a 147c letter for a lost ein in about 2 weeks. operating agreements you can draft from a template — every state has free ones.
