    • Can I do business in other states?

      Yes, all businesses can conduct basic business affairs across state lines. What activities trigger the need for registration vary by state, but often include hiring an employee, opening a location, and competing for a job. When those requirements apply, we can help register your LLC with our foreign qualification service after your LLC is formed. Either way, the first step is for us to help you form your LLC in your home state.

       

      What if my attorney or accountant advised that I form my LLC in a particular state?

      Your attorney or accountant may advise you of the advantages of forming in a particular state, especially when you regularly conduct business in more than one state. You may wish to consult a licensed professional for guidance on selecting a domicile to gain state tax advantages, a pro-business legal environment, or handle complex ownership structures.

    Some clients have already started conducting business, while others are planning to launch months in the future.

    As you consider your timeline, think about when you need to secure your business name, which is accomplished when you receive state approval of the LLC articles of organization. After your LLC name is approved, you can start using it on contracts, ordering business cards, building your website, and so on. Until then, even though we conduct a name availability check before filing, state agencies do not guarantee that your desired name will be approved.

    S-Corp or C-Corp Tax Election

    By default, an LLC is taxed as a sole proprietorship (one owner) or a partnership (multiple owners) and thus benefits from pass-through taxation. An LLC may make a special election to be taxed as an S-Corporation or C-Corporation. We prepare and file your IRS tax election within 75 calendar days.
