From idea to incorporated — and compliant every year after.
Forming a business is the easy part. Staying compliant afterward is where most new owners get stuck. As your A-to-Z partner, we handle both — from entity selection to the paperwork you'll owe next year and every year after.
What's Included
- Entity selection guidance (LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, or Partnership)
- State filing and registered agent service
- EIN (Employer Identification Number) application
- ITIN applications for foreign owners through our in-house Certifying Acceptance Agent
- Operating agreements and initial compliance documents
- Ongoing annual report and compliance filings
A-to-Z means we don't disappear after day one
Formation is the beginning of the relationship, not the whole job.
The same team that forms it also runs its books and taxes
Because formation, accounting, payroll, and tax preparation all live under one roof, nothing gets lost in a handoff between a formation service and a separate accountant.
Friendly to foreign owners
If you live outside the U.S. and want to form an American LLC, we're experienced with the extra requirements — including ITINs and Form 5472 compliance — that trip up owners who go it alone.
In-house Certifying Acceptance Agent for owner ITINs
Foreign owners often need an ITIN for tax filing and banking. We certify identity documents in-house, so you never have to mail your passport internationally.
A family-owned team for a decision this important
You're not routed through a national franchise call center to make a decision about your company's structure — you talk to the same people every time.
Forming a U.S. company from outside the country? We can help with your ITIN too.
Foreign nationals who own a U.S. LLC often need an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) to file the required tax returns (including Form 5472 and a pro forma 1120) and to open a U.S. business bank account. Getting one usually means mailing your original passport to the IRS and waiting.
As an IRS-authorized Certifying Acceptance Agent, we verify and certify your identity documents ourselves and submit your ITIN application directly — no international mail, no waiting months to get your passport back.

Frequently asked questions
It depends on your income, how many owners you have, and your tax situation — there's no single right answer. We'll walk through it with you during your free consultation and recommend what fits.
Yes, and it's something we handle regularly, including the ITIN and tax filing requirements that apply specifically to foreign owners.
No. Formation is the start of the relationship. We handle your ongoing compliance filings, and you can add accounting, payroll, and tax preparation whenever you're ready.
It varies by state, but most formations are complete within one to two weeks of us receiving your information.
This trips up a lot of new owners: an LLC is a legal structure, while S-Corp is a tax election — they're not competing options. Many businesses start as an LLC and later elect S-Corp taxation (via IRS Form 2553) once profits are high enough to make the payroll-tax savings worthwhile. We'll tell you if and when that makes sense for you.
Sometimes. S-Corp owners pay payroll tax only on a "reasonable salary," with remaining profit distributed without self-employment tax. But the savings depend on your profit level, salary, and state taxes, and there are added payroll and filing costs — we run the numbers before recommending it.
