Business Formation
Starting your company is one of the most important decisions you'll make. We form LLCs, corporations, partnerships, and more — but we educate first so you can choose with confidence.
Choose Your Structure
We form all entity types — you pick the right one, we handle the rest.
The simplest structure for solo owners. Quick to set up with minimal paperwork.
For two or more co-owners sharing profits, responsibilities, and liability.
Flexible, protective, and tax-friendly. A strong foundation for growing businesses.
Pass-through taxation with corporate structure. Great for reducing self-employment taxes.
Built to scale. Raise investment, go public, and build a legacy-level enterprise.

Your business structure affects how income is taxed, how liability is handled, and how far your business can grow. Here's what you need to know before you decide.
No separation between owner and business
A sole proprietorship has no legal separation between the individual and the business. Business income is reported directly on the owner's personal tax return, and the owner is personally responsible for all debts and obligations.
Shared ownership, shared responsibility
A partnership involves two or more individuals operating a business together. Income typically passes through to the partners' personal tax returns, and liability depends on how the partnership is structured.
Flexible protection with pass-through taxation
An LLC is one of the most commonly chosen — and most misunderstood — business structures. By default, a single-member LLC is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes: income passes through to the owner's personal return, the IRS does not treat the LLC as a separate taxpayer, and liability protection depends heavily on proper setup and operation.
Reduces self-employment tax for qualifying owners
An S-Corporation is not a business entity, but a tax election. Income passes through to the owner's personal tax return and is subject to specific IRS rules and limitations.
Separate legal entity built for growth, investment & legacy
A C-Corporation is a separate legal and tax-paying entity. The corporation files its own tax return and income does not automatically pass through to the owner personally. This structure is often used for scalability, separation, and long-term planning.

LLC to Corporation Conversion
Many founders start with an LLC — then outgrow it. A C-Corporation gives you the structure to raise investment, separate your personal and business finances, and build something that truly scales.
The good news: in most cases your original formation date stays intact when converted correctly. You don't lose your business age — you just change the structure.
