Get the Right Legal Structure
Our business startup consulting provides clear guidance on whether an LLC, sole proprietorship, or DBA best fits your needs, helping you protect your assets and set a solid legal foundation.
Reduce Errors and Save Time
Avoid the paperwork headache. We complete and submit necessary filings, ensuring they are accurate and aligned with state and federal rules.
Avoid Compliance Issues
Our consulting approach includes helping you meet all legal and tax obligations from the start — so you don’t face delays or penalties later on.
EIN (Employer Identification Number) Application Support
An EIN is required for nearly every business — it’s used to open business bank accounts, hire employees, file taxes, and more. Our business startup assistance includes full support with the EIN application process. We ensure your information is properly submitted to the IRS and aligned with the structure of your business. Whether you’re a single-member LLC or a partnership, we help you determine when and how to apply, and we handle the entire process for you. You’ll receive your EIN confirmation and be ready to take the next step in establishing your business presence.
- Step-by-step EIN application guidance.
- IRS Form SS-4 preparation and review.
- Filing support for individuals, LLCs, and corporations.
- Digital confirmation document delivery.
- Ongoing support for EIN-related updates or corrections.
LLC Formation Assistance
Choosing to operate as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) offers personal liability protection and tax flexibility. Our business startup consulting helps you evaluate whether an LLC is the right choice for your business type and long-term goals. From there, we manage the full filing process with your state — preparing and submitting Articles of Organization, guiding you through member or manager selection, and helping with name registration. Our business startup assistance also includes explaining annual report requirements and helping you understand how to keep your LLC in good standing.
- State-specific LLC formation filing.
- Name availability search and reservation.
- Preparation of Articles of Organization.
- Guidance on single-member vs multi-member LLCs.
- Registered agent setup and annual compliance reminders.
DBA Filing (Doing Business As)
A DBA, or fictitious business name, allows you to operate your business under a different name than your personal name or the registered name of your LLC or corporation. This is important for branding and legal clarity. Through our business startup assistance, we help you register your DBA with the appropriate county or state office, check for name availability, and ensure you meet all publication and renewal requirements. Our business startup consulting explains when a DBA is necessary and how it fits into your broader business structure.
- Name availability check for your chosen DBA.
- Completion and filing of local or state DBA forms.
- Assistance with required newspaper publication (if needed).
- Clear guidance on renewals and expiration timelines.
- Support with updating records after DBA approval.
Business License & Permit Guidance
Depending on your location and industry, you may need several licenses or permits to operate legally. Our business startup consulting process includes identifying exactly which licenses your business requires — whether local, state, or federal — and how to obtain them. We research the specific needs for your business type, including health permits, seller’s permits, professional licenses, and more. Then, through our business startup assistance, we help you complete the application processes and keep track of renewal dates. This ensures you stay compliant and avoid legal interruptions that could impact your operations or finances.
- Research on required licenses for your business type.
- Assistance with local, state, and federal applications.
- Help with permit renewals and deadlines.
- Explanation of industry-specific regulations.
- Document tracking and submission support.
Startup Business Planning Sessions
Having a business legally registered is only one piece of the puzzle. Success depends on having a clear strategy. Our business startup consulting includes focused sessions that help you outline your business model, set achievable goals, and build a plan for your first few months of operation. We discuss pricing, budgeting, marketing basics, and operational workflows. This strategic planning support is an essential part of our business startup assistance because it helps you turn paperwork into a functioning, focused business. You’ll leave with a roadmap and real clarity about what to prioritize in your first phase of growth.
