Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an LLC to start my business?

Not always. Many businesses can legally operate as sole proprietors, but an LLC may provide benefits depending on your situation. We'll help you evaluate the options.

Can you help me decide between an LLC and an S Corporation?

Yes. We'll review your expected income, business goals, and tax situation to determine whether an S Corporation election may make sense.

Do you file the LLC paperwork for me?

This consultation focuses on helping you understand the process and make the right decisions. Additional assistance with filings may be available depending on your needs.

When should I talk to a CPA when starting a business?

The earlier, the better. Getting advice before making decisions can help prevent expensive mistakes later.

Do I need a separate business bank account?

For most businesses, yes. Keeping personal and business finances separate is an important step in maintaining accurate records and protecting your business.
