Incorporation Services

Starting a new business can be one of the most challenging, highly rewarding (both financially as well as personally) and extremely exciting times in your professional life as you draft your vision and strategy in terms of what you wish to create and achieve.
However, just like any entrepreneur, first you need to begin with the very core basics.
One of the most important first steps is choosing a legal structure for your company.

There are several common formal business ownership structures to choose from and each one carries distinct advantages and disadvantages that need to be weighed and reviewed.
This strategic decision carries significant long-term implications, so the founder needs to decide which form of business entity is right for him, depending on the type of organization he wishes to establish, the industry it belongs to, the number of owners, the future growth goals, the unique financial situation as well as various other factors.

Since each option has its own set of unique characteristics, there are several key criteria you need to compare, consider and carefully evaluate, before making an actual decision regarding the chosen type of business entity to form.
Both present and future needs for operating the business have to be fully explored and analyzed before reaching a final conclusion.

A business’ legal structure determines who owns, controls and makes the day-to-day management decisions, how much you pay in taxes, what records you need to maintain, the amount of regulatory paperwork your business is required to file, who has financial liability and the ability to raise capital.
Making an informed decision which takes under account all relevant aspects, can genuinely help maximize the chances of financial, administrative and operational success.

It’s important to remember that as your business evolves, develops and changes, you should occasionally ask yourself whether the legal entity form you have chosen remains the best type of organization structure for your business.

The most common legal structure options for forming a business in the United States are:

• LLC (Limited Liability Company)
• Corporation (S-Corp & C-Corp)
• Professional Corporation (PC)
• Benefit Corporation
• Non Profit Corporation
• Sole Proprietorship
• Partnership

Faster Incorporation and LLC Registration Options

Setting up a new business takes time, usually between 20-40 business days, depending on the specific state of filing.
Sometimes, there are special circumstances where the founder is in a hurry and needs to speed up the application process in order to save a significant portion of the standard registration turnaround time.

Most services offer some kind of a rush or expedited filing option, which is the quickest way to get your official documents.
Those express options may include features such as:

• Near-instant, same day, 24 hour or other faster preparation or / and submission of the business formation documents to the appropriate state office.
  This upgraded, premium service is often fulfilled by using physical hand delivery or express courier service for immediate filing.
  In many such cases, additional state expediting fees may apply.

• The customer’s order is marked for special preferential handling and placed in priority processing.

• An in-house specialist is assigned to continuously track and monitor the successful progress of your filing with the Secretary of State’s office in order to verify that the high-priority service runs smoothly.

• Once the service provider receives the documents from the state office, it can send the final package to the end customer using expedited same-day shipping, which means it can be potentially delivered overnight.

It’s important to remember that express processing enables customers to substantially decrease their filing timeframe.
However, please bear in mind that this option is not necessarily available for all states and the actual turnaround times vary from one state to another.
