Services in this division

What we do, in detail.

01 / 02

Entity Formation & Shelf Corps

Your LLC, S-Corp, or C-Corp, filed with the Secretary of State and set up with the pieces lenders and the IRS expect. For clients who need an established entity, aged shelf corporations in good standing are available.

Right for you if: You're starting a business, separating liability, or need an entity ready for funding.

Good to know: An aged entity can help with time-in-business requirements, but lenders still look at revenue, credit, and how the business operates. We'll tell you plainly if a shelf corp makes sense for your goal.

What's included

  • Choosing the right structure: LLC, S-Corp election, or C-Corp
  • Articles of organization or incorporation filed with the Secretary of State
  • Registered agent, EIN, and operating agreement or bylaws
  • S-Corp election (IRS Form 2553) coordination with your tax professional
  • Annual report and good-standing reminders
  • Aged shelf corporations with clean history and documented ownership transfer

Questions

Frequently asked

Should I form an LLC or an S-Corp?

An S-Corp is a tax election, and an LLC can make it. We'll explain the trade-offs and coordinate with your CPA before you decide.

Do I need a separate LLC for each property?

Many investors separate properties or projects to limit liability. We'll help you decide what makes sense for your portfolio.

Will a shelf corp guarantee funding?

No. It can help with time-in-business requirements, but lenders still review revenue, credit, and operations.
