Cheap, Quick DBA Filing

Attorneys Corporation Service

Is your client not interested in forming his or her new business as a corporation or LLC? Perhaps the DBA is the best fit. It is inexpensive and requires very little in terms of time investment. There are still a few legalities that must be met, however. Most states require that you file a DBA, or Doing Business As, for your clients if they are doing business under a name other than their legal name, which involves paperwork and an often slow turnaround time. Which is exactly where Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. comes in…

 

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can save you time and money filing a DBA in any county nationwide. Additionally, since the DBA filing process is not complete without publication of the potential use in a newspaper, we will also take care of finding the appropriate local newspaper to publish your client’s desired DBA in — all for one low price.

When it comes to timing, it is best to file the DBA before your client actually starts doing business under the business name. In fact, some jurisdictions, such as California, require that a DBA is filed within a certain period of time of the name’s first use.

A DBA is a quick, easy, and economical way to operate a small business and can be the cheapest and simplest structure for formal business recognition. There are pros and cons to structuring your client’s business as a DBA, which you can discuss in detail with your client. But let Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. deal with the paperwork and headache that goes with filing your client’s DBA with the appropriate county or jurisdiction.

Registered Agents for 50 States

0

Attorneys Corporation Service

You’re in the process of incorporating your client’s new business. Halfway through drafting the articles, you remember to ask your client who will handle the corp’s service of process. Service of process is how a third party provides you and your client’s company with notice of a pending legal matter; thereby allowing you, as your client’s legal counsel, to respond accordingly.

The registered agent can be an individual or company that you, as your client’s representative, appoint to receive your client’s service of process and other official notices; such as state franchise tax notices pertaining to your client’s new business. A registered agent MUST be located in the state in which the business is incorporated.

 

So, who do you choose to serve as your client’s Registered Agent?

Again, the registered agent for your client’s new business must be located within the state the business is being formed. For example, if you incorporated your California client’s new business in Delaware, the registered agent must be in Delaware. Additionally, the registered agent must be available during normal business hours and have a physical address in the relevant state– not a P.O. box or private mailbox (note: this places the address in public record, which some professionals do not prefer).

What if you don’t know a registered agent in the state where you incorporated your client’s business? And/or, as the company’s legal counsel, you don’t want to also be the registered agent for your client’s new business? No problem! Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can provide you with a registered agent for any of the 50 United States for only $99 per year! Our registered agents are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

In addition, our registered agents will provide you with the following services:

▪ Accept and forward any official document and tax notice

▪ Accept and forward any legal service of process

▪ Notice of past due lists of officers/taxes

Your client’s new corporation must have a registered agent. Let us take on registered agent duties so that you can focus on your clients’ other needs. Contact Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. TODAY!

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. provides fast, reliable formation services and quality products. For customized Corporate KitsLLC Kits, Estate Plan Organizers and Corporate Supplies, Call us at 800.462.5487 to get the best service on your business filing needs.

Schedule C Form Instructions

0
0

Attorneys Corporation Service

As many attorneys and CPAs who works with small businesses know firsthand, the IRS Schedule C form is an extremely important document when preparing taxes. A Schedule C is used to calculate the net business income for a sole proprietor or single-member LLC business owner and is basically an addendum to the 1040 form.

According to the Internal Revenue Service:

Schedule C is the federal tax form filed by most sole proprietors; one owner businesses. As you can tell from its title, Profit or Loss from Business, it’s used to report both income and losses. Many times, Schedule C filers are self-employed taxpayers who are just getting their business started. In addition to those who do well at the start, this group can also include new business owners who make very little or no profits, or even lose money. There is also a shorter form, Schedule C-EZ, Net Profit for Business. This is for self-employed individuals with less complex situations including business expenses of less than $5,000, no net losses and no employees.

Here are a few Schedule C tips for our attorneys and CPA clients:

▪ Schedule C is prepared the same way as a 1040: organizing receipts and income stubs for inclusion in the form.

▪ Classify workers correctly, make accurate payments, and keep your clients up on quarterly tax payments.

▪ Necessary documents include a profit and loss statement, asset and vehicle records, travel expense records, and home business records.

▪ File electronically. The IRS recommends it and doing so saves time and money!

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. is here to assist our clients during tax season and year round! Check us out online at www.AttorneysCorpService.com or contact one of our experienced customer service professionals at 1 800 462 5487 for more information about our business filing services.

How to Obtain an EIN

0
0

Attorneys Corporation Service

As a number of attorneys, CPAs, and licensed professionals are aware, many business owners need an Employer Identification Number (or EIN) for IRS purposes. Also known as Federal Employer Identification Number or FEIN, an Employer ID Number is the corporate equivalent to an individuals’ Social Security Number. It should be noted that the IRS recently made changes to the EIN issuance process (for more information, click here.)

How do you know if your client needs an EIN? For example, if your client’s business has employees, if it files any of these tax returns: Employment, Excise, or Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, and/or operates as a corporation or partnership, you will need to file for an EIN.

EINs are also necessary for many employers, sole proprietors, corporations, partnerships, non-profit organizations, LLCs, trusts and estates, certain individuals and other business entities. The IRS uses this number to identify taxpayers that are required to file various business tax returns. Individuals who are employers (such as those operating as a DBA, which Attorneys Corporation Services, Inc. can help you file) may choose to either obtain an EIN or use their Social Security Number for the purpose of reporting taxes withheld on behalf of their employees. It may be important to note that an EIN is not considered sensitive information and is freely distributed by many businesses by way of publications and the internet.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can assist you in obtaining an EIN for your client’s business. Simply complete the application and questionnaire and Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. will prepare the IRS Form SS-4 and fax or e-mail you a confirmation number within 24 hours! In a rush? Express service is also available if you require the number within the hour.

Running a Business Name Availability Check

0

Attorneys Corporation Service

As many of our clients (attorneys, CPAs and other licensed professionals) are aware, the name of a corporation, LLC, or other business entity must comply with the rules of the applicable state’s corporation division or Secretary of State. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can quickly and accurately run a business name availability check for your client’s proposed business in all 50 states.

It is imperative that you run a business name availability check for your client’s new business prior to filling out paperwork. This will not only save you time, but the potential embarrassment of having to go back to your client to tell him all the business cards he ordered must be tossed because his business name is taken.

Provide Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. with up to three business names in your order of preference and, within hours, we will let you know which, if any, of your client’s proposed names are available (on a preliminary basis). Furthermore, if instructed by you at the time of your name availability search request, we will secure your proposed name with the appropriate Secretary of State or department.

While each state has its own rules relating to business names, the following guidelines generally apply when picking an entity’s name:

  • The name cannot be the same or similar to another business name on file in the state;
  • An LLC must have a designation (LLC, Limited Liability Corporation);
  • The name cannot contain certain words that suggest an association with the federal government or a restricted type of business (such as Bank, Trust, Trustee, Olympic, Insurer, Insurance Company, Cooperative);
  • The name does not violate another company’s trademark.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc can quickly run a business name search to see if your client’s proposed name is available for use. What’s more, we can reserve the name while we are also preparing your client’s Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization. Let us handle the paperwork of forming your client’s new business.

Attorneys Corporation Service

As many of our clients are aware, there are many ways to form a new business. For example, a tech start-up might be interested in an S-Corp for stock-related reasons and a small law firm might prefer the LLC to avoid personal liability. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can help you form your client’s LLC or corporation.

No matter the size of the company or the industry it is in, a business owner is required to file a DBA, or Doing Business As, if the business owner is doing business under a name other than his or her legal name.

We advise our clients, including licensed attorneys and CPAs, to make sure a proposed name is available before starting a new business. Give us a call or contact us online and we will run a business name availability check for you and reserve up to three proposed business names with the appropriate Secretary of State or state department.

For several reasons, it is best to file your client’s DBA before he or she actually starts doing business under the business name. Some jurisdictions, such as California, require that a DBA is filed within a certain period of time of the name’s first use. This can be a tedious task, but it is necessary under the law. Let Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. spare you the hassle.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can save you time and money when filing a DBA in California or any of the 50 states. Remember, the DBA filing process is not complete without publication of the name’s potential use. We will find the appropriate local newspaper to publish your client’s desired DBA, allowing you to focus on more pressing elements of your practice.

A DBA is a quick, easy, and economical way to operate a small business and can be the cheapest and simplest structure for formal business recognition. Attorneys Corporation Service can deal with the paperwork and headache that goes with filing your client’s DBA with the appropriate county or jurisdiction.

Interested in forming your client’s new business in Florida? According to the State of Florida, Florida offers an ‘excellent business climate.

Whether you are starting your client’s new business as a corporation or LLC, Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can help. We can form your client’s new business quickly and efficiently in each of the 50 states, and Florida is no exception.

Other benefits of forming a business in Florida include the combination of the ‘pro business attitude of Florida with the nations 4th largest population and labor force and the 15th largest economy in the world’ and the fact that in Florida there no personal income tax. Another great benefit is that Florida doesn’t have minimum capital requirements for incorporating your business.

Before you register your client’s new business in Florida as an LLC or corporation, you need to make sure the desired business name is available. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can run a business name availability check for you immediately. You do not want to draft Articles of Incorporation and/or let your client know their business name is available before you have confirmed with Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc.

In Florida, the company name must include the correct corporate or LLC identifier and cannot contain language stating or implying that the corporation is connected with a state or federal government agency or a corporation chartered under the laws of the United States.

After you have determined the business name is available through an accurate name availability check, it’s time to file the correct paperwork with the Florida Department of State Division of Corporations. Florida corporations require Articles of Incorporation and Articles of Organization are required for LLC’s. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can draft and file your client’s Articles for you.

Florida Articles of Incorporation must set forth the following:

  1. The name of the corporation must include a corporate suffix such as Corporation, Corp., Incorporated, Inc., Company, or Co. A Professional Association must contain the word “chartered” or “professional association” or “P.A.”
  2. The principal place of business and mailing address of the corporation.
  3. Specific Purpose for a “Professional Corporation”
  4. The number of shares of stock that this corporation has authorized.
  5. The names, address and titles of the Directors/Officers (optional).
  6. The name and Florida street address (a P.O. Box is NOT acceptable) of the initial Registered Agent. The Registered Agent must sign in the space provided and type or print his/her name accepting the designation as registered agent. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can set you up with a Florida Registered Agent.
  7. The name and address of the Incorporator. The Incorporator must sign in the space provided and type or print his/her name below signature.
  8. An Effective Date, which may be added to the Articles of Incorporation, otherwise the date of receipt will be the file date. (An effective date can not be more than five (5) business days prior to the date of receipt or ninety (90) days after the date of filing).

Finally, obtain a Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) for your client’s company and open a company bank account. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can set you up with an FEIN or Tax Identification Number immediately.

Forming a business in Florida can be great for your client’s new business. Ask Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. how we can assist you in the business formation process.

When to File a Statement of Information in California

0
0

Attorneys Corporation Service

As the attorneys, CPAs, and other licensed professionals who deal with small and large businesses know firsthand, California law requires that every for-profit California corporation and limited liability company (LLC) file a Statement of Information with the California Secretary of State within 90 days of filing the original Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization.

Additionally, a for-profit corporation (such as a C-Corp or S-Corp) must re-file the Statement of Information at certain times. A corporation must file a state of information:

  • Annually; and
  • whenever the corporation: (1) moves, (2) elects new officers, (3) adds or deletes directors, (3) changes the name of its registered agent for service of process, or (4) changes the type of business the corporation is engaged in.

A California LLC must re-file its Statement of Information twice a year and whenever there is a change to: (1) the name of the limited liability company, (2) the name and/or address of the agent for service of process required to be maintained, (3) the street address of the LLC’s principal executive office, or (4) the name and complete business or residence addresses of any manager, officer or the Chief executive officer, if any. 

Furthermore, if the LLC is a member-managed LLC, the LLC must refile the Statement of Information if the name and/or business or residence address of each member changes; or if the principal business activity of the LLC changes.

It is important to note that both a corporation and an LLC must file a Statement of Information in California even if the corporation or LLC is no longer actively engaged in business. If you need to file a dissolution for your client’s business, click here.

Attorneys Corporation Service can help you file a Statement of Information cheaply and quickly. Contact us today to see how we can help you.

California Secretary of State Turnaround Times

Attorneys Corporation Service

At Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. we are in the business of filing important documents on behalf of our clients (attorneys, CPAs, and other licensed finance professionals). From Articles of Incorporation to Amendments, Employer Identification Numbers, and UCC Filings, our clients rely on us to accurately and cost-effectively assist them with their business filing needs with the California Secretary of State.

We understand that for our clients, time is money. However, as you have likely experienced, the Secretary of State does not always agree. In fact, the turnaround time for filing new business incorporation papers with the California Secretary of State can be several weeks or longer.

 While processing times vary depending on the type of request submitted, how the request is submitted, and when the request is received by the California Secretary of State’s office, it’s still generally not a quick process. For a list of the most common types of requests received by mail or dropped off in person at the Secretary of State’s Sacramento office, and the Secretary of State’s current turnaround time, click here.

When you submit your filings to Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc., we closely monitor the status of your filing request so that you receive it as soon as it is ready. Additionally, by sending us the filing you substantially reduce the processing time — all our CA filings are hand-delivered over the counter; a much quicker process than you mailing the documents to the state yourself.

For more information on the types of business filings we can assist you with, as well as our turnaround times, visit our site or call friendly customer service. We love to talk about business entities, especially yours.

It’s considered a savvy business practice for corporations to maintain a “corporate minute book” that holds documents like the business’s formation paperwork, licenses, resolutions and meeting minutes, we think that might not be a good idea.

As any CPA or financial services professional can tell you, the corporate minute book is one of the first items requested when your client’s company is audited or being sold.

Corporate kits are also beneficial to businesses who are incorporating, or have already incorporated, because of the valuable content they contain. For example, a corporate kit from Attorneys Corporation Services, Inc., is manufactured specifically for your client and will generally include:

  • Client’s Company Name Gold-Stamped Down Spine
  • Metal Hand Seal
  • 20 Certificates
  • Mylar Reinforced Tab Dividers
  • Transfer Ledgers
  • Rag Content Minute Book Paper
  • Applicable IRS and State Forms
  • Bylaws/Operating Agreement
  • Organizational Minutes
  • Stock Certificates
  • Stock Transfer Ledger
  • Next Day Delivery!

The stock or membership certificates are a must-have for any business. With one of our corporate kits, your clients will have access to them whenever they might need to distribute them or demonstrate their corporate status.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. also provides same day shipping on our corporate kits. Standard orders received by 3:00 pm (Pacific Time), leave our office the same day. Request overnight shipping, and receive your order the next business day.

Converting a Business from an LLC to a Corporation

Is your client interested in converting his or her business from an LLC to an incorporation? Thanks to Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc., converting from  a limited liability corporation (LLC) to an S Corp or C Corp has never been easier.

Why would a business want to switch to an incorporation? Several reasons, many of which come down to finances. For example, you might want your client to take advantage of the tax benefits an incorporation provides.  A corporation offers more tax write-offs than an LLC and allows the business to operate past the owners death, unlike an LLC. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can assist you in incorporating a business in each of the 50 states.

Your state may or may not accept a business entity conversion form that allows you to quickly convert from one business type to the next. If your state does not, you will need to dissolve the LLC and establish an incorporation, which Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can do quickly. However, before you do anything, have us run a name availability check.

You might discover that your client’s business name is not available as an incorporation, which is good to know before your client officially changes over to a C or S Corp.

Once we determine your client’s business name is available as an incorporation, and after you switch your client’s business to a corporation, you will need to take care of some housekeeping. Contact the business’s current and previous creditors to inform them of your client’s new business name or corporate entity information.

Next comes the IRS.

Your client’s business might need a new tax ID number, which Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can quickly obtain for you. Your client’s old tax ID number for the LLC may no longer be usable. A tax ID number is used to open corporate credit accounts, build business credit, and hire employees.

Depending on the state your client’s business is formed in, the conversion process may be more involved. The experienced customer service professionals at Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can assist you with the incorporation process and answer your business formation questions.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. provides fast, reliable formation services and quality products. For  customized Estate Plan Organizers and Corporate Supplies, your premier source is Attorneys Corporation Service. We also provide solutions for tough filing assignments. Call us at 800.462.5487 or check us out online at www.AttorneysCorpService.com.

How to Form Your Brand New DBA

Your client is interested in starting a small business but perhaps the common choices of an LLC or corporation are not the right fit. For financial and legal reasons, your client needs to choose a business entity to form his or her new business under. Hence, the “Doing Business As” or DBA. A DBA name is a business name that is different from your client’s personal name, the names of your client’s partners, or if your client is looking to expand a current company, the officially registered name of your client’s LLC or corporation. DBAs can also be called trade names or assumed names.

As you likely know, and your client may not, in most states, a business cannot operate a business under a different name without registering with the appropriate government agency. Each state has its own specific rules surrounding new business formation, including the filing of a DBA. More information about a state’s specification rules and regulations can be found here on the SBA.gov website.

When is a DBA the best business entity choice for your client? Here are a few scenarios:

  1. Sole Proprietors or Partnerships – If your client wishes to start a business under any name other than his real one, you’ll need to register a DBA name so that he can do business under the DBA name.
  2. Existing Corporations or LLCs – If your client’s business is already incorporated and he wants to do business under a different name, you will need to register a DBA.
  3. Cost – If your client does not want to pay the fees and costs associated with incorporating and/or forming an LLC, a DBA might be the way to go.

 

DBAs can be registered in every state and no matter where your client’s business is located, or where he / she is interested in setting up the new business, Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can help. Let us save you time and money by filing your client’s DBA in the proper county and publishing it in the required newspaper — all in one easy process.
