Everything it takes to start a business — and everything it takes to keep it
Formation is a single day. Compliance is every year after. We handle both, and we do it with your tax position in mind rather than in isolation.
We have been doing this since before it was a website
Registering entities, chasing down permits, fixing structures that were set up wrong by someone cheaper. That experience is why we can tell you in one call whether your plan is going to work — and what it will actually cost to fix if it doesn't.
Business formation & entity setup
The entity you choose determines how you're taxed, what you're liable for, and how easily you can raise money later. We help you pick it deliberately instead of defaulting into it.
- LLC (single-member and multi-member)
- S corporation and C corporation
- Limited liability partnership (LLP)
- Professional corporation
- Nonprofit corporation and 501(c)(3) filings
- Sole proprietorship and general partnership
- Entity comparison and recommendation
- Operating agreements, bylaws and corporate minutes
Names, DBAs & trademark protection
Before you print anything, make sure the name is available, registered, and yours to defend.
- Business name search and availability
- Name reservations
- Doing Business As (DBA) filings
- Trademark search
- Trademark registration
Licenses, permits & tax registrations
The paperwork that turns a registered entity into a business that can legally invoice, hire and collect.

- Entity classification and S-corp elections
- Sales and use tax permits
- Business licenses
- Payroll registration
- Payroll tax registration (SUI / SIT)
Compliance & ongoing filings
Most businesses don't lose good standing on purpose — they lose it by forgetting. We keep the calendar so you don't have to.
- Registered agent services
- Initial and annual reports
- Annual meeting minutes
- Certificates of good standing
- Certified copies and apostille
- Articles of amendment and entity conversions
- Foreign qualifications and reinstatements

Bookkeeping, payroll & records
Clean books are the difference between guessing and knowing — and between an approved loan application and a declined one.
- Monthly bookkeeping and reconciliation
- Profit and loss and balance sheet reporting
- Payroll processing and tax filings
- Year-end close and tax-ready packages
- Corporate and LLC kits, seals and certificates
Why do some small businesses thrive while others quietly close?
It is rarely the product. It is almost always the management — pricing that never got revisited, cash flow nobody watched, a plan that lived in someone’s head. Our coaching program puts an experienced partner in the room with you.
