Company Formation
Formation is more than a state filing. Confirm the entity, state, owners, operating footprint, and tax purpose before filing, obtaining an EIN, and building a compliance calendar.
The state and entity type affect governance, fees, annual reports, and federal returns. We review the operating location, owners, business activity, and banking or marketplace purpose before preparing the filing. Legal opinions, licensing, and regulated activities may require separate counsel.
