Business formation
Starting a business is exciting. Choosing the wrong structure is expensive. One conversation with us can save you thousands in taxes and headaches down the road, before you ever file your first return.
Which structure is right for you?
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. The right structure depends on your income, your goals, your risk tolerance, and your plans for growth. We'll help you figure it out.
LLC
Liability protection plus maximum flexibility. Easy to set up, simple to run, and works well for most small businesses just getting started. Taxed as a sole proprietor by default, with the option to elect S-Corp treatment later.
S-Corporation
Once your business is generating consistent profit, electing S-Corp status can significantly reduce your self-employment tax burden. We'll run the numbers to tell you exactly when it makes sense for your situation.
Sole proprietorship
No formal registration required. Best for low-risk, early-stage businesses testing an idea before committing to a formal structure. We'll help you understand the tradeoffs before you decide.
C-Corporation
The right choice if you're planning to raise outside investment, issue multiple classes of stock, or build toward an acquisition. More complex, but built for scale.
Not sure which one fits? That's exactly what the consultation is for. We'll look at your specific situation: income, industry, goals, and timeline, and give you a clear recommendation with the reasoning behind it.
How the process works
We guide you through every step so nothing gets missed and everything is set up correctly from day one.
