Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of forming a business entity?

There are several key benefits to forming a business entity, such as an LLC or a corporation. The main advantages include:

Liability protection ensures that if issues arise in your business, your personal assets remain safeguarded. This gives you peace of mind, allowing you to concentrate on growing your venture without the worry of personal financial repercussions.

Tax benefits: Depending on your company’s structure, you could receive various tax advantages. Additionally, separating your company’s income and expenses from your personal finances simplifies tax preparation.

Enhanced business credibility: Forming a business entity signals to the world that you are committed to your company. This can boost your credibility and often leads to better opportunities and immediate benefits.

Improved founder relationships: Establishing a company requires founders to address key issues like ownership, decision-making, and responsibilities, often detailed in founding documents such as LLC operating agreements. This process helps prevent conflicts and ensures smoother collaboration, reducing the risk of disputes that could jeopardize the company.

How long does it take?

Typically, it takes 2-3 weeks from the filing date for an LLC to become active, and 3-4 weeks for a C-corporation. S corporations may require an additional 1-2 months, depending on IRS processing times. Expedited filing with a 1-2 day turnaround is available for an extra fee.

How should I choose a name for my business entity?

Selecting the right name for your business involves various practical considerations, such as your marketing and personal goals, as well as legal factors, including state naming regulations and the presence of competitors with similar names

Where can I find answers to legal questions before starting the business setup process?

For a reasonable monthly fee, you can schedule unlimited calls with an attorney. During these consultations, you can ask any questions and receive personalized, strategic legal advice.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, we offer payment plans. We’ve partnered with Affirm to provide convenient payment options, allowing you to spread payments over up to a year.

Should I setup a corporation? Should I setup an LLC?

When deciding between setting up a corporation, an LLC, or a specialized entity like a professional corporation, the best choice depends on various factors specific to each business. Business owners should consider the number of owners, the type of funding they seek, the complexity of the business, and other factors, including tax considerations.

How does Counsel for Creators charge for business setup?

We offer business setup services on a flat-fee basis because we believe in providing transparent and predictable pricing. This means no unexpected hourly charges or hidden fees. Our flat fees include everything you need to get your business up and running.

How does your business setup process work?

We have developed proprietary systems that enable clients to easily collaborate with our attorneys from anywhere in the world. Once you choose to set up your business with Counsel for Creators, we will provide a straightforward, easy-to-navigate intake form to gather details about your business. After you complete the form, we will use the information to initiate the setup process. This includes filing all necessary paperwork with the Secretary of State, securing your EIN, preparing foundational documents (such as the LLC operating agreement), and acting as your agent for service of process. Throughout the entire setup process, you can schedule phone consultations with our attorneys to address any questions or issues that arise.

Should I use LegalZoom or another online filing service to do my business setup?

If you're serious about building a business, it's best to avoid using online filing services like LegalZoom. These services can't provide legal advice, which means business owners risk making incorrect decisions during company formation. Often, this results in having to redo work that was initially handled by an online service, which contributes to the poor reviews these services often receive. Investing a bit more upfront ensures that your business setup is done correctly the first time, avoiding costly mistakes and revisions.
