If you already know the entity form of the business you are creating (C Corp., S Corp., LLC, etc.) select it from the list below. If you have not yet determined the entity form and instead seek advice on this, choose “UNKNOWN” from the list. We will Consult with you to help you determine the appropriate form, and will file that form of business, charging you the fee associated with that form of filing, less the amount you will already have paid to determine this.

Review Details

Deciding what legal form your business will take is essential to your business strategy. What does ownership look like, now and in the future? Who will be controlling the business from day to day and what kinds of decisions will they be able to make? What plans might you have for selling the business or bringing in investors? What does the business’s capital structure look like? What kinds of tax consequences flow from your choice of type of entity.

Process

After you purchase the Business Formation Service Package, you will upload any relevant documentation and complete a short questionnaire. We will meet and discuss your objectives and constraints. Based on your choice of entity type, we will invoice you for associated Pennsylvania State filing fees, document fees, publication fees, rush processing, shares, seals, agent for service of process and any other expenses incidental to your business formation. When you pay the invoice, we will draft, authorize (sign) and file documents with the State. You will receive a bound copy of all documentation and up to 20 share certificates (if relevant).
