Business formation

LLC and corporation formation, EIN, and the registrations a new entity needs before it can hire, invoice, or file, set up so the compliance calendar starts on day one instead of being discovered a year later.

Entity and state chosen with your numbers, not a template.

Questions

Business formation: common questions

LLC or S corporation?

They are different things. An LLC is an entity; an S corporation is a tax election an LLC or a corporation can make. Which combination fits depends on your income, your payroll, and your state, so we walk through it with your numbers before anything is filed.

Which state should I form in?

Usually the state you actually operate in. Forming elsewhere generally means registering as a foreign entity where you operate anyway, so you end up paying twice.
