Business Formation

Form the entity your tax bill will thank you for.

Filing mills sell you paperwork. We choose the structure first — how you'll be taxed, how you'll pay yourself, what it costs to maintain — and then file it. Packages start at $499 plus state fees.

Next step

Ready for capital?

Business formation and business credit building are the foundation. When your company is ready to pursue capital, ask about our Business Funding & Capital Strategy services.

Launch, Operate and Build already resolve most of the verification points a funding readiness review looks at — business address, business phone, professional email, domain, web presence, directory listings and business credit profiles.

Actual funding procurement, loan sourcing and lender applications are a separate service and are not part of the Build package.

Important disclosures

Not legal services

Southeast Tax Services, LLC is a tax and accounting firm. We prepare and file formation documents as your authorized agent and advise on the tax consequences of entity choice. We do not practice law, and nothing here is legal advice. Matters involving ownership disputes, litigation, securities, or complex contracts should go to a licensed attorney.

Fees and included services

State filing fees, annual registration fees, and expedite charges are set by the state and are not included in the package prices above. Included services such as the business address, registered agent, business phone, domain, professional email and landing page cover the first 12 months; renewals thereafter are the client's responsibility. Entity registration does not by itself create liability protection; maintaining it depends on your ongoing compliance.

Business credit services

Business credit services help you establish and organize your company's commercial credit profiles. We do not guarantee funding, lender or vendor approval, credit limits, tradelines, or any particular credit or PAYDEX score. Outcomes depend on your business activity, payment history, and third-party underwriting.

S-Corp elections

Tax savings from an S-Corp election depend on your profit, reasonable compensation, and payroll costs. We model it before recommending it, and no specific savings amount is promised.
