Frequently Asked Questions
What business structure is right for me?
The right structure depends on your goals, number of founders, and tax preferences. We most commonly form LLCs for flexibility and Delaware C-Corps for startups seeking venture funding. We'll discuss the tradeoffs in your consultation.
How long does business formation take?
Standard formation is completed within 5-7 business days in most states. Expedited options (1-2 days) are available in Delaware and New York for an additional filing fee.
What do I need to provide to get started?
Proposed company name, names and addresses of all members or shareholders, ownership percentages, and your state of formation. We handle everything else.
Do I need an operating agreement or shareholder agreement?
Yes. An operating agreement (LLC) or shareholder agreement (corporation) governs how the company is owned and managed. It is essential for multi-founder companies and is included in our formation package.
LLC $1,500 flat

C-Corp $2,000 flat
