LLC Formation Process in California
LLC formation in California begins with preparing Articles of Organization, filed with Secretary of State. You also need an EIN from IRS (free). Costs depend on LLC projected income (Tier 1-4). We prepare all documents to California requirements.
BOI Report (Corporate Transparency Act)
The Corporate Transparency Act requires most companies to file a BOI Report with FinCEN identifying true beneficial owners. Deadline is January 1, 2025 for most companies. We help prepare and file this report.
Trademark Registration: Protecting Your Brand
A trademark protects your company name, logo, and slogan. USPTO registration provides legal protection and enforcement rights. The process includes prior mark searches, application preparation, and USPTO correspondence. Usually takes 6-12 months. We handle the entire process.
Annual Business Compliance
Each year, a company must file an Annual Report and state franchise tax return. Non-compliance can result in penalties, loss of LLC/corporate status, and inability to sue third parties. We track deadlines and help file all required documents on time.
