Company Formation

Bank Arrangement

Based on your transactions and business industry we will recommend an online bank account that is suitable for your business. We work with numerous banks and as such feel it is important from early on to select the best one that can help with multi currency, company expense cards, manage multiple accounts under a single platform or even where you need an immediate setup banking solution that is easy and quick.

Mail Forwarding (First Class Mail)

We will receive your mail, scan it and then email this to you no matter where you are in the world with original copies being sent to you once a year.

Apostille Copy

If you do not reside in the US and wish to form a company in the USA, then you may be required to obtain a Apostille or “Certificate of Authentication” (this is for countries that did not participate in the Apostille Convention). Sometimes your home country may require verification of documents filed in the USA are legitimate. This add-on is often taken where you may wish to open a bank account or meet other business or licensing requirements in their country.

Corporate Kit Black Binder (including courier)

Professionally prepared corporate kit binder prepared with all relevant official documents and articles, including minutes and other useful stock certificates and transfer ledgers.

Certified Copy

For various purposes you may require a Certified Copy of the Articles of Association for instance to open a business bank account. Some states include this as part of their state filing fee whilst others require a separate filing procedure and filing fee.

Certification of Incumbency

A Certificate of Incumbency is a document that is issued to outline the identity of the signing officers of a corporation (or LLC). This document is also used often to confirm that an individual is authorised to enact on behalf of the company.

Certification of Good Standing

You may require this document if you wish to setup a business bank account, apply for a loan or even to do business with another state, depending on the laws of that state. This is a document issued by the Secretary of State to certify that the company is in existence and confirms that it has not been dissolved or merged.

Registries (Directors)

We form LLCs by submitting the required application form from the directors to the Registrar of Companies alongside a separate written consent form. Once we have obtained approval, we can then send you quickly the Certificate of Incorporation via email that can also be verified on the Registrar’s website.

Operating Agreement (LLC)

It is highly recommended to draft an operating agreement when forming an LLC, and in certain states mandatory such as California, New York, Delaware, Missouri and Maine. Our experts will draft this for you and over term can be amended and is held internally.

Bylaws (Corporation)

It is mandatory in certain states to maintain a written record of bylaws. The bylaws document the company’s overall structure and governance as we as maintaining how the corporation’s shareholders, officers and directors will operate the business.

Employer Identification Number

You need to obtain an Employer identification Number (EIN) if you decide to incorporate your business or form an LLC. This is a 9 digit number that is assigned by the IRS and is also referred to as the Tax Identification Number or TIN or even as Federal Tax ID number. An EIN is similar to a personal Social Security Number, but for your business. Each corp or LLC has a unique EIN.
