Ready to Start Your New Business?
C Corporation
Incorporating a business requires the preparation and filing of a Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State in the state in which you decide to incorporate. Once the corporation is established, it becomes its own separate legal entity and is subject to the laws governing corporations in the state of incorporation.
Using CorpNet® services to incorporate your business can save you both time and money with service that is fast, reliable, and affordable with a 100% money back guarantee.
Limited Liability Company
An LLC offers some of the same benefits of a corporation, but without the costs and compliance complexity. Business owners that are looking for personal liability protection, tax flexibility, and management options may find that forming an LLC will be an ideal choice for their company.
Forming an LLC requires filing Articles of Organization with the state in which the LLC will operate. CorpNet can register an LLC in all 50 states to enable them to save time and money—and to ensure their documents are submitted accurately.
CorpNet®is not in any way affiliated with the Secretary of State of this or any other state and/or governmental agency. CorpNet is a document filing service that works with state and government agencies in all 50 states to assist small business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals with their document filing needs. Please see the disclaimer at the bottom of this page and for further information please read our Web Site Terms of Use.
Plus, you get a 100% MONEY-BACK Guarantee *
