Services
LLC (Any State)
An LLC provides flexibility in management and taxation while offering liability protection for its owners (called members). It’s a popular choice for small businesses, freelancers, and startups because it combines the simplicity of a sole proprietorship with the protections of a corporation.
S Corporation (S Corp)
An S Corp is a tax designation that allows profits (and losses) to pass through to shareholders’ personal tax returns, avoiding double taxation. It’s ideal for small-to-medium-sized businesses with U.S.-based shareholders who want to save on self-employment taxes.
C Corporation (C Corp)
The C Corp is the most common structure for larger companies, especially those planning to raise capital through investors or go public. It provides strong liability protection, unlimited growth potential through the issuance of stock, and clear separation between owners and the business entity.
Non Profit Organization
We help clients form 501(c)(3) and other nonprofit structures designed for charitable, educational, religious, or public benefit purposes. Nonprofits enjoy tax-exempt status, but must follow specific operational rules and reporting requirements.
Professional Corp
(PC) / PLLC : Designed for licensed professionals such as doctors, lawyers, engineers, and architects. These entities offer liability protection specific to professional practices while complying with licensing board requirements.
Limited Partnership (LP)
An LP includes general partners who manage the business and assume liability, and limited partners who contribute capital and enjoy limited liability. LPs are common in investment, real estate, and family-run businesses.
Partnerships & Cooperatives
Ideal for ventures involving two or more individuals or groups collaborating toward a common goal. Cooperatives, in particular, allow members to share profits and decision-making responsibilities equally.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
LLPs protect each partner from liabilities caused by the other partners. They’re a top choice for professional service firms like law firms, accountants, and consultants.
Doing Business As (DBA) & Sole Proprietorships
The simplest business structure, owned and operated by one individual. While easy to form and operate, it offers no liability protection—making it suitable for low-risk ventures or side businesses.
