Entity formation packets

Choose your packet. We handle the rest.

Flat-fee formation packets for the paths most owners take — California state filing fees included, your entity built right the first time. 

Why this is the easy decision

One flat fee. Filed right the first time. And the savings proven before you pay.

No hourly surprises, no guessing whether it pays, no chasing the state yourself. You pick the packet, we build the entity end to end — and you start operating under it in weeks, not months. For most owners, this is the single highest-return decision they'll make all year.

Organization documents

Bylaws, operating or partnership agreements, and resolutions that protect owners.

Your personal assets stay shielded if anything ever goes sideways.

Compliance paper trail

The minutes and records the IRS, FTB, and courts require to recognize your entity.

Audit-ready from the start, so your liability protection actually holds up.

Owner instructions

Clear, written steps to stay compliant long after day one.

Never wonder what's due next — you'll know exactly what to do and when.

Not sure which to choose?

Start with a Tax Savings Analysis.

We model your real federal and California tax across every structure and hand you a clear written recommendation — the entity that keeps the most money in your pocket, and exactly how much. Proceed to a formation packet and the full fee is credited back, so the proof costs you nothing.

Optional add-ons

Industry-specific licensing — add to any packet.

Your new entity can trigger licensing at the state, county, and local levels. We handle these applications alongside your formation so you stay fully authorized — each priced per application and added to any packet.

Alcohol beverage control application for bars, restaurants, and retailers.

CDTFA Sales Tax Permit

Seller's permit and sales-and-use tax registration with the state.

Health Department Permits

Food-facility and county health permits for regulated operations.
