Filing the entity is the easy part. What causes problems a year later is everything that should have happened alongside it — the EIN, the sales tax permit, the workforce account, the chart of accounts, and knowing which returns the new entity now has to file. We handle the formation and the setup as one job.
Starting prices. Government filing fees are separate and passed through at cost.
Government filing fees are not our receipts — they are treated as client reimbursements and documented separately. Mint Associates does not provide legal services or legal advice; documents affecting legal rights should be reviewed by a licensed attorney.
How it goes

We will not answer that in a paragraph on a website, because the right answer depends on your income, whether you will have employees, how you want to take money out, and what you plan to do in three years. What we can do is lay out how each choice affects the filings and the tax you pay, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.
The part most people skip
The day the certificate is issued, the clock starts on things nobody mentions at formation: a franchise tax report every year whether or not tax is owed, sales tax returns on the frequency the Comptroller assigns you, payroll filings once there is a first employee, and a federal return for the entity itself.
We map those out at setup and put the dates in front of you, so the first notice you receive is not how you learn about them.
