Business Formation

Form, register and keep a U.S. company in good standing — from any state, from any country.

Forming the company is the easy part; keeping it in good standing in the right state, with the right documents, is where most owners slip. We handle the whole life of the entity — formation, registrations, annual filings, changes and, when the time comes, dissolution — so nothing lapses because nobody was watching.

Questions we hear most

Which state should I form in?

If you live and work in California you owe California franchise tax regardless of where you form, so forming elsewhere usually adds cost. Delaware suits companies raising venture capital; Wyoming or Delaware suit non-resident owners with no U.S. presence. We recommend in writing on the first call.

How long does formation take?

California: 3–7 business days. EIN: same day for U.S. residents, 2–6 weeks for non-residents without an SSN.

What happens after formation?

EIN, S-election if it fits, bank-account readiness, seller's permit, payroll registration and a compliance calendar. The company is running, not just registered.
