📘 Frequently Asked Questions

❓Do I need an LLC or a Corporation? What’s the difference?
This is one of the most common questions. An LLC is usually simpler and more flexible — great for small businesses, freelancers, or partnerships. A Corporation offers more structure and might be better if you're planning to raise money or issue shares. If you're unsure, we can walk you through it or connect you with someone who can help.
❓What exactly does the state require — and what do I actually need to stay compliant?
In California, you're required to file your formation paperwork, submit a Statement of Information within 90 days, and stay on top of annual filings and taxes. You'll also need a Registered Agent with a California address. We help handle all of that, so you don’t miss anything.
❓How long does it take to form my business?
For standard filings, it usually takes about 2-5 business days depending on the state’s processing times. If you're in a hurry, we offer rush and same-day filing options too. We’ll keep you updated every step of the way.
❓Will I need anything else after forming my LLC or Corportion?
Yes — most businesses also need an EIN from the IRS, a business bank account, and an operating agreement or bylaws. If you go with our All-In Bundle, we take care of those steps too, so you’re ready to operate right away.

Corporation FAQs

Thinking of going the C-Corp route? Let’s clear a few things up.

Why would I choose a C-Corp instead of an LLC?

C-Corps are built for growth. If you’re planning to raise investment, issue stock, or eventually go public, a C-Corp is the standard. They offer strong legal protection and are often preferred by investors.

How much does it cost to start a C-Corp in CA?

SimpleCorp services start at a $299 flat for full-service Corporation filing — including your Articles of Incorporation, Statement of Information, Registered Agent, and delivery of your documents. The California state filing fee is Included. No upsells. No hidden add-ons.

Is there a difference between a C-Corp & S-Corp?

It comes down to how you're taxed. A C-Corp pays its own taxes as a business. An S-Corp passes profits to the owners to be taxed individually. C-Corps also allow more flexibility with shareholders and stock options — which is why they’re ideal for scaling companies.

4. Is a C-Corp right for me if I’m just starting out?

Maybe! If you plan to stay small and simple, an LLC might be better. But if you want to grow fast, raise capital, or hire employees with stock options — a C-Corp is often the smarter long-term move. We’ll help you make the right call.

What happens after I submit the form?

We’ll take it from there. Your Corporation gets filed, and you’ll get all your official documents by email (and mail if you want a physical kit). We also guide you through your next steps, like filing your Statement of Information and getting your EIN.

How fast can you form my C-Corp?

Fast. Most Corporation filings are submitted same day or next business day after you complete our form. Your Articles of Incorporation are filed directly with the California Secretary of State.

How does SimpleCorp stack up against others?

We focus only on California — and we do it right. While other sites charge extra for basics like Registered Agent service or try to upsell you into a package, we give you everything you need for one flat price. Fast filings, full compliance, real support.

6. What exactly is a Registered Agent?

A Registered Agent is a person or company that receives legal notices and government mail on your behalf. California requires one for every Corporation — and we include it free for your first year.

Do I need anything else after I form a C-Corp?

After filing, you’ll need to get an EIN, hold an initial board meeting, issue stock, and stay compliant each year with your Statement of Information and franchise taxes. The good news? We help guide you through all of it.

S-Corp Election FAQs

Here are the most common questions we get — simplified.

What’s the benefit of choosing an S-Corp?

S-Corps can help save money on self-employment taxes and are a popular choice for growing businesses. You still get personal liability protection like an LLC, but with a few tax perks built in — especially if you’re taking a salary and dividends.

Is an S-Corp the same as a C-Corporation?

Not exactly. An S-Corp is actually a tax status — it starts as a Corporation, and then you elect to be taxed as an S-Corp with the IRS. This setup can be more tax-friendly for some small businesses, especially once you're profitable.

Should I form an S-Corp or an LLC?

LLCs are great for simplicity. S-Corps are better if you're looking to grow and pay yourself a salary. We’ll help you compare both, based on your goals — and if S-Corp makes sense, we’ll handle the IRS election for you, too.

How much does it cost to register a Corporation?

SimpleCorp charges a flat $299 to form your California Corporation, with no hidden fees. That includes everything: filing, Registered Agent, Statement of Information, and your S-Corp election. You’ll also pay the state filing fee, which is passed through at cost.

What makes SimpleCorp different?

We're California-focused, fast, and personal. No confusing packages. No upsells. Just everything you need — done right, backed by real people, and built to keep you compliant. Our clients say it feels like having a business friend in your corner.

How fast can you file my Corporation?

Most Corporation filings are submitted same-day or next business day after you submit your form. You’ll be official — and ready for business — faster than you think.

What happens after I submit the form?

We get to work right away. You'll get filing confirmation, status updates, and your documents delivered to your inbox — and optional next-day delivery by mail. We also handle your S-Corp tax election if needed.

What’s a Registered Agent, and do I need one?

A Registered Agent is your official point of contact for legal and government mail. California requires every Corporation to have one. Don’t worry — we include it free for your first year.

Do I need anything else after forming my S-Corp?

After your Corporation is formed, you’ll still need to open a business bank account, file your S-Corp election (we help with that), and stay on top of yearly filings. SimpleCorp makes it easy — we send helpful reminders and include free support for your first year.
