If you are planning to start a company, here are the steps you need to follow for a successful company formation process:

1. Select the State of Incorporation: The first step is to decide which state you want to incorporate your company in. This choice will depend on various factors such as tax laws, legal requirements, and business environment.
2. Choose the Entity Type: The next step is to choose the type of business entity that suits your company. The most common types of entities formed at the state level are LLCs, corporations, and limited partnerships.
3. Choose a Company Name: The name of your company is critical, and it must not already be taken by another company. You can check the availability of a name by conducting a name search.
4. Select a Registered Agent: A registered agent is an individual or a company that accepts legal documents on behalf of your company. They must be available during business hours to receive documents. Note: The State of New York allows but does not require a business entity to appoint a registered agent. USA Corporate Services is happy to provide you with registered agent services in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
5. Determine Maximum Number of Shares to Authorize: If you plan to incorporate a corporation, you must determine the maximum number of shares that your company can authorize.
6. Complete Other Necessary Requirements: Each state has unique, and often quirky, requirements for company formation. To avoid fines or other penalties, it’s essential to fulfill all necessary requirements.
7. Prepare and File Formation Documents: Once you have completed all the necessary requirements, it’s time to prepare and file formation documents to the state Secretary of State or other filing officer along with the correct filing fee for the level of service you are requesting.
8. Obtain Proof of Filing: You will need to obtain proof of filing from the filing officer to confirm that your company is now incorporated. The proof filing may be in the form of a stamped copy of the filing, or it may be a receipt or even a “Certificate of Incorporation.”
9. Obtain a Federal Tax Number: Lastly, in order to conduct any active trade or business you will need to obtain a Federal Tax Number, also known as the Employer Identification Number (EIN), from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
