NOTE 1 - OUR FEES: Our fees are ALL INCLUSIVE. That means they already INCLUDE things like our law office acting as agent for service of process for one year, State of California filing fees, courier and messenger fees, corporation kit cost, corporation seal cost, stock certificate printing cost, FedEx fees, and all attorney fees.

NOTE 2 - FEES OF THE OTHER GUYS: The corporation formation ads you probably have seen that offer to do your corporation for $150 or less are, frankly, ridiculous. They are "bait and switch" ads. By the time you finish adding the things you really need and want to the low price they advertised, you will end up paying much more than our all inclusive fees.

NOTE 3 - THE STATEMENT: An "annual statement" is the California Secretary of State Form SI-200, Statement of Information. It is required by law of new corporations soon after incorporation and annually thereafter. We file it for you, at no extra chare; it's included. For more information on the annual statement and the filing fee that we pay for you, click here.

 

 

DID YOU KNOW . . . to achieve 2-business-day (or less) filing for our clients, we send ALL our Articles to the California Secretary of State by hand by courier? We do not charge extra for this. It's included.

NOTE: Significant Delays at Office of California Secretary of State (SoS):
Yes, we do deliver your Articles of Incorporation by hand by courier, but you still need to know that the office of the California SoS is now taking (due to the California budget crisis, furlough days, reduced state employee hours and layoffs) up to 30 business days to process new Articles of Incorporation. When you use us, your Articles will indeed be stamped and filed by the SoS in one or two business days after you okay the Articles, but we will not actually get them back from the SoS for up to 30 business days at which time you will immediately get from us a PDF image of your filed Articles.  If you can't wait that long, you should consider a shelf (aged) corporation; they are already formed and available right away. (Revised January 11, 2012)

Most don't.

What does INCORPORATION look like?
This image (below) is from a real California Articles of Incorporation.

Image of Filed Articles

STATE FILING STAMP AND CORPORATION NUMBER -- The image (above) is an official California Secretary of State filing stamp and corporation number. This is the way new Articles are stamped after they pass state legal review. The date in the middle of the official stamp (JAN 01 2005) is the official filing date -- also known as the "date of incorporation." The seven digit number located at the top of the image (2730442) is a unique number assigned by the Secretary to the corporation. That number is commonly referred to as the state corporation number or entity number.

GET FEIN AFTER ARTICLES ARE FILED -- While the state corporation number (see image above) identifies the corporation, it is NOT a taxpayer identification number. All corporations must get BOTH an IRS / Federal employer identification number (FEIN) and a California Employment Development Department (EDD) employer account number. Both of these taxpayer numbers (IRS FEIN and EDD employer number) should be obtained AFTER the date of incorporation. We will prepare for you an IRS application for FEIN. We do not charge extra for this. It's included.

Official Seal

OFFICIAL SEAL -- The image (above) is of an official California Secretary of State seal. On filing the Articles, the current practice of the office of the Secretary is to stamp a red seal on the Articles over or near the signature of the incorporator. There are at least two reasons for this. First, it helps to authenticate the document as official. Second, it provides an element of security because duplication of the red seal would be difficult.
