By law, all California corporations must have a California agent for service of process.
Yes,
please
serve as the corporation's agent for one year.
I understand that the first year is included at no
extra charge or fee; that anything served on you as agent for service of
process will be forwarded to the contact address given above; that after
the first year I will be offered the option, without obligation, to
renew for $149 per year.
No thanks; I will designate my own agent for service of process in California, below.
The name and address of my agent for service of
process follows:
Example:
Mr. John Smith
123 Any Street, Apt. 100
Big City, CA 90001
Note: Please note that a post office box (like PO Box 123) is NOT acceptable for an agent for service of process. The address must be a street address in California.
Examples:
* Computer repair services
* Package delivery services
* Retail sales
* General construction contracting
* Widget design and manufacturing
Note 1:
The above description will NOT limit your business. We only

will file this form for you (and pay the $25 filing fee).
Note 2:
Your California corporation will be able to engage in ANY
lawful business for which a corporation may be organized under

HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS
|
Note 1: The Subchapter S election is also commonly known as an "S" corporation election. The default status is C status. S status requires the filing of an election form.
Note 2: There is NO EXTRA CHARGE for this service. It's included.
No
Yes -- Please prepare the IRS election form to signature ready condition. I understand it is my responsibility to timely file the election form.
Maybe -- I'm not sure at this time but please go ahead and prepare the election form anyway to signature ready condition.
HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS:
| There is no extra charge for preparation of the election forms. | |
| Many corporations do NOT ever elect S corporation status. We do NOT recommend S status unless you have a very strong reason. Fringe benefits for owners are more restricted in S corporations. If you're not sure -- don't panic -- you don't need to decide now. Basically, qualified corporations have the right to elect S status for future years. In other words, qualified corporations can change or switch from C status to S status. |
Note 1:
A share transfer restriction sets forth a mandatory procedure or
mechanism by which the corporation and the non-transferring shareholders
have the right to purchase the shares of the transferring shareholder
before he or she can transfer the shares to someone else.
Note 2:
If you select "yes" below, the share transfer restriction will be stated
in the corporation bylaws with notice thereof placed in a legend on each
share certificate. The notice / share legend gives notice to all
shareholder that his or her stock is subject to a transfer restriction
and is not freely transferable.
No -- I am comfortable with having NO such restriction.
Yes -- Please put a share transfer restriction in the bylaws and place an appropriate legend on all the share certificates.
HELPFUL NOTES AND TIPS:
| There is no extra charge for a share transfer restriction. | |
| If you will be the only shareholder, there is little or no need for such a restriction on share transfer. If, on the other hand, the shares will be owned by unrelated business partners, then you may want to consider a share transfer restriction. |
