Formed right the first time — because re-doing it costs 10x.

The $99 online formation gets you a certificate. It doesn't tell you whether an S-election saves you five figures, which state to file in, or how to pay yourself. We do.

What this can cover.

Business Formation

Scope is set per client. Not every line below applies to every engagement — some are not necessary at all — and what we take on is agreed with you before any work starts.

330.1Entity SelectionLLC, S-corp, C-corp, partnership — modeled against your actual revenue plan, not a blog post.
330.2State Registration & EINArticles filed, EIN issued, state accounts opened — the full checklist, executed.
330.3Tax ElectionsS-elections and accounting-method choices made on time — the deadlines founders most often miss.
330.4Owner Payment SetupPayroll or draws configured correctly from day one, so year-end isn't a surprise.
330.5Accounting FoundationChart of accounts, bookkeeping, and a separation of business and personal that keeps the liability shield intact.

LLC or S-corp? It's math, not identity.

The big question

The internet's favorite debate has a boring answer: it depends on profit. Below a certain net income, S-corp payroll costs exceed the self-employment tax savings; above it, the election can save five figures a year. The crossover point depends on your state, your industry's reasonable-comp norms, and your growth curve.

We run that math in the formation consultation — and because an LLC can elect S-corp treatment later, sequencing the decision correctly matters more than rushing it.

FAQs.

Quick answers
Should I form in Delaware or Wyoming?Almost certainly not, unless you're raising venture capital. Operating businesses generally belong in their home state — foreign registration elsewhere just doubles your fees.
I already formed online. Can you fix my setup?Yes — a formation review catches missed elections, wrong classifications, and commingling before they get expensive.
How fast can I be operational?Most states process in days. The full stack — entity, EIN, bank, books, payroll — is typically live in two to three weeks.
