Business Incorporation & Compliance

Your business form must fit your business needs and as your business grows or personal situation changes, so will your needs. Keep in mind that your decision on business structure will have an impact on the amount of tax you and your company will pay.

Starting a business requires you to complete a number of steps and make some key decisions. As part of your overall plan, you will need to select a location, obtain the necessary licenses, permits and most importantly, decide on a business structure. There are distinct advantages and disadvantages of each form of doing business. Which is right for you? That's a decision made between you and our team of tax advisers. However, do not hesitate to inquire if incorporating your business makes sense. Many times, not incorporating your business will cost you thousands of dollars in taxes!

Many tax professionals provide discounts to incorporate a business and subsequently charge an hourly fee to provide the necessary guidance needed to properly implement and manage your new corporation.

Our clients typically save money each year by using this four-step strategy:

1. Choosing the right type of structure (S corporation,
C-corporation, partnership or LLC) for your business.
   
2. Review the appropriateness of the shareholders compensation and update all accountable reimbursement plans.
