Question 1

How long will it take for my business entity to be formed?

Accepted Answer

Upon completion of your order with us, we promptly file the required documentation with the state of your choice and apply for your IRS EIN (assuming you also signed up to obtain an IRS EIN).  The time it takes for entity formation at the state and federal levels can take days or weeks depending upon which filing speed you choose and your state’s current backlog.  We provide you with an estimated business formation date upon completion of your order.

Question 2

How do I know if my business name has been approved?

Accepted Answer

Upon completion of your order with us, we’ll promptly research the availability of your requested business name.  If your name is available, you will see “Available” next to your business name when logged into My Account.  If your requested business name is not available, we’ll email you with alternative names for your market niche within 24 hours.

Question 3

Can I change my business name in the future?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can definitely take care of that for you.

Question 4

What is a registered agent and do I need to have one?

Accepted Answer

A registered agent is an individual or authorized business hired to receive legal documents such as court summons, and tax and regulatory notices on behalf of a business. Most states require that lawsuits be hand-delivered, and therefore a registered agent must have a physical address and also be available during normal business hours to receive these legal documents.  You can also designate yourself or your business as a registered agent.

If your business has locations in different states, you must have a registered agent in each one of those states.  Learn about our registered agent services here.(undefined)

Question 5

As a licensed professional, do I form an LLC or a corporation?"

Accepted Answer

The answer to this question varies based on your state’s licensing board and your type of profession—some states require that you form an LLC, while others require that you form a corporation.  Please contact your state’s licensing board directly to find out the requirements for your profession.

Question 6

Can a corporation own another corporation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A corporation can own another corporation and can purchase it using the first corporation's stock. This is yet another advantage of owning a  corporation. In fact, under current IRS regulations, even subchapter S corporations (S-Corps) can own and control major portions of affiliated companies.
