📘 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.

Nonprofit FAQs

What’s the benefit of forming a Nonprofit Corp?

Forming a nonprofit helps protect your personal assets, gives your mission legal structure, and sets you up to apply for tax-exempt status (501(c)(3)). It shows donors, partners, and the public that you’re legit.

Can I get tax-exempt status with this filing?

Forming your nonprofit is the first step. After that, you’ll apply separately with the IRS for 501(c)(3) status. We’ll provide clear guidance to help you get started — and we can refer you to nonprofit tax experts if needed.

Yes, all California nonprofits must list a Registered Agent. This is the official contact for legal and government notices. We include it free for the first year, just like we do for LLCs and Corporations.

Do I need a board or bylaws for my nonprofit?

Yes. To stay compliant and apply for tax-exempt status, you’ll need to adopt bylaws and hold an initial board meeting. Don’t worry — we’ll give you templates and guidance to help you check those boxes with confidence.
