Freelance with structure. And keep your weekends.
Freelance developers, designers, writers, and project-based contractors usually stay sole proprietors too long. We move you to an LLC for liability protection, set up business banking and contract templates, time the S-Corp election to your income, and connect you to a specialty CPA. Total time: about 5 minutes to start.
Built around how freelancers actually operate.
Three things you will not get from a generic formation site.
S-Corp election when ready

LLC means a contract dispute hits the business, not your savings.

How we deliver, end-to-end.
Four-step path from request to confirmation. State and IRS turnaround varies; our steps run in parallel where possible to compress the timeline.
Intake + scope
You tell us what you need through a short intake form (or a call for complex matters). We confirm scope, surface any gating issues (deadlines, missing documents, entity status), and quote any state fees that pass through at cost.
Prepare + verify
Our specialists draft the filing, verify entity details against state databases, run internal QA, and route any items needing your sign-off. You see drafts before anything gets submitted.
File with the authority
We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.
Confirmation + vault
Stamped certificate, IRS notice, or filing receipt arrives in your SOC 2 encrypted document vault the moment we receive it. Next filing deadline auto-added to your compliance calendar where applicable.
