Common questions about our servicing.

We take pride in providing hands-on attention, transparent workflows, and dependable legal preparation for founders and executive leaders.

Do I need to file paperwork with my state to legally start a business?

Yes, if you form an LLC or corporation, you must file formation documents (such as Articles of Organization or Incorporation) with your state's Secretary of State office and pay a filing fee. (Fees vary by state.)

What is an EIN and do I need one?

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) is a federal tax ID issued by the IRS. Most businesses need an EIN to hire employees, open a business bank account, or file corporate taxes.

What local licenses or permits do I need to operate legally?

Requirements depend on your industry and location. You may need a general local business license, a zoning permit for a physical storefront, or health and safety permits.

Do I need a registered agent for my business or nonprofit?

Yes, most states require you to appoint a registered agent with a physical address in your operating state to receive official legal notices and tax documents.

What ongoing compliance steps keep a business or nonprofit in good standing?

You must file annual reports with your state, renew local business licenses, file annual tax returns (like IRS Form 990 for nonprofits), and keep up-to-date corporate meeting minutes.

What are corporate bylaws and why do I need them?

Bylaws are internal rules that govern how your business or nonprofit is run. They outline voting rules, officer duties, and meeting procedures, and states often require them during formal setup.

What business structure should I choose for a standard for-profit company?

You can choose a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. An LLC or corporation protects your personal savings and property from business debts and lawsuits. 

Is filing for state incorporation enough to make my nonprofit tax-exempt?

No, incorporating at the state level only creates the legal entity. To get federal tax exemption under IRS section 501(c)(3), you must separately file IRS Form 1023 or Form 1023-EZ
