In the early stages of forming a company and mapping out a business blueprint, entrepreneurs will do well to seek the help of a corporation services company to assist them in learning what types of companies exist, and subsequently what type of company is best to structure their company as. When looking for an advising advocate, there is a good rule of thumb to follow: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a corporation services company is advertising a $39.99 LLC incorporation cost (out the door!) customers should probably run out the door. Getting advisement and incorporation help may be an expense, so look for a balance between good and knowledgeable service and cost proportionately. Look for an established history and reputable pattern of experience and affable ethics. A helpful service that should be offered by an incorporating company is a compliance service. Compliance services will act as an extra safeguard against future legal complications, IRS run- ins, and misunderstandings. Additionally, insurance brokerage services may offered, making transparency for the set up process even more available and helpful. Having the majority of your major needs met in one place will ease the strain of new business (or seasoned, for that matter) owners’ sanity. Assuming that one is a virgin to the world of business and corporations, it is imperative that a potential business owner be well informed and guided through the education of which types of companies exist. Knowing the difference between a C Corporation, S Corporation, LLC, a 514c Organization and so on and so forth should be required information that ought to be relayed between an incorporating company and its own clients before anything is agreed upon or signed. As a protective measure, it is not a stretch to say that a company looking to “help” a potential business owner by advertising suspiciously low rates, vague descriptions, and ungodly quick processing times is at best a sham. Like any good business owner understands, client or consumer and business relationship is very important. It is no different going out to bid for incorporation advising and services. Hiring a company that will work for you and with you is invaluable. In the current economic, social, and government temperature one can never be too careful of the professional company they choose. Having a place where all questions, real, potential, or hypothetical can answered and addressed will prove priceless. Questions of the “what if”? variety, questions regarding what types of companies there are, and how to best model and structure a business, taxation questions, income allocation questions, and anything else that could possibly come to mind demand that there be real time counsel available as soon as these things come up. It is probably best that in the setting up of a business, the gun is not jumped in making uneducated short cuts and avoiding clarifying communication with those qualified to help for the sake of saving a few extra bucks.
