Entity Formation

An LLC taxed as a sole proprietorship, an S-corporation, a C-corporation: each carries different tax math, different paperwork, and different consequences when you raise money or sell. Most founders pick one in an afternoon and pay for it for years. We start from your revenue today and the exit you may want later, and choose the structure that fits both.

The S-election deserves special mention: made at the right moment it can save an owner five figures a year in self-employment tax; made too early it buries you in payroll costs before the revenue justifies them. We run the numbers before we file anything.

Formation also has a legal side: operating agreements, multi-member structures, investor terms. We'll tell you plainly when your situation calls for an attorney, and we set up the tax side so the legal documents have a clean structure to build on.
