Frequently Asked Questions
I want to start a business. Where do I start? +
Begin by opening a business bank account, which most banks require an EIN number and a Fictitious Business Name filing with the county if your personal name is not part of the business’ name.
I’ve heard about different business structures. Should I form an entity for my business? +
Business entities create separation between personal assets and business assets, providing liability protection. The tradeoff is an annual fee ($800 in CA). If protecting personal assets is worth the fee, forming an entity is advisable.
I’ve heard about LLCs and S-Corporations. Which should I choose for my business? +
The best business structure depends on your business net profits. S-Corporations offer tax advantages but have stricter compliance. A 1-hour meeting can analyze your business and recommend the best entity.
I’ve set up an entity through LegalZoom and now I’m paying more annually for their compliance program than I did to set it up. Do you have a program for clients so they don’t have to keep track of all these dates? +
We offer a full compliance program that is much less costly than LegalZoom, ensuring your entity stays in compliance without missed statement of information filings.
