If you are starting a small business or you are thinking of
incorporating your existing business or forming an LLC, you may have seen
banners and advertising for online incorporation services. And if you have,
you've probably wondered how good these services are. Can incorporating
online save you attorney fees? If you set up a corporation through an online
service, will it be legal in your state? Could you save even more by
buying a book about how to form a corporation or LLC and doing everything
yourself instead of using an online incorporation service?
The question of when to hire an attorney or tax professional to
set up your corporation, and when to do it yourself is complex. But as a general
rule of thumb, it's wise to get advice from tax and legal professionals unless
you've spent considerable time studying which is the best form of business (sole
proprietor, corporation, partnership or LLC), and learning what your rights and
responsibilities may be under each form of business.
If you do choose to incorporate your own business, using one of
the online incorporation services will save you time and ensure that the forms
get filled out properly and all the paperwork submitted in the proper way.
