The right structure on day one saves tax for years.
LLC, S-Corp or C-Corp, chosen with the tax implications explained before you file. We handle the state filing, EIN, operating agreement and first books, so your business starts on solid ground.
Filing the paperwork is easy. Choosing right isn’t.

Formation questions.
An S-Corp isn’t a separate entity type; it’s a tax election most LLCs and corporations can make. Many owners start as an LLC and elect S-Corp once profit is high enough that the payroll-tax savings outweigh the extra cost of running payroll. We run the numbers for your situation.
Typically 2 to 4 weeks from consultation to completed formation, depending on the state. You get updates as each step completes.
Often, yes, but some changes carry tax cost or paperwork that’s easier to avoid by choosing well up front. That’s why we explain the tax picture before you file.
We handle formation and registration in your state. Tell us where you operate in the consultation and we’ll confirm what’s required.
For many small businesses, no. For complex ownership, investor terms or regulated industries, we’ll tell you when an attorney should review the documents.
It depends on the entity and state filing fees. You get a clear quote in your consultation, with no surprise fees.
