Business formation FAQs
Should I form an LLC or a corporation?
It depends on how you plan to raise money, how many owners you have, and your tax situation. Most small businesses start as an LLC for its flexibility and simpler paperwork; a corporation makes more sense if you plan to bring on investors or issue stock. We walk through both before you file.
How long does it take to form an LLC or corporation?
It varies by state, typically anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on that state's filing office. We tell you the expected timeline for your state before you start.
What is a registered agent, and do I need one?
A registered agent is the person or company designated to receive legal and state notices on your business's behalf. Every state requires one for an LLC or corporation, and it must be a real address available during business hours, not a P.O. box.
When should I elect S-Corp status?
Generally once your business is consistently profitable enough that the payroll and administrative cost of an S-Corp is outweighed by the self-employment tax it saves. We model the numbers for your specific situation before filing Form 2553.
