Interested in Setting Up an LLC or S Corp?
Why not consider the "Do It Yourself" Approach? Stephen L. Nelson, Inc., a related entity, publishes Do-it-yourself kits for LLC Formation and S Corporation Setup as described below.
Do-It-Yourself LLC Formation Kits
Ready to set up your own LLC? You can pay an attorney perhaps $1000. Or an online service maybe $200. But you can do the setup yourself using either my premium do-it-yourself kit ($49) or my economy do-it-yourself kit ($29).When you purchase an LLC formation kit, you can download the pdf document immediately. We also email you a link that you can use to download the document later. That 20+ page pdf document describes the benefits of using an LLC for your business or investing, the steps for setting up an LLC in your state in just a few minutes, and how you get a federal tax identification number for your new LLC so you can start banking.
If you purchase the premium version of the kit ($49) rather than the economy version of the key ($29) you also get instructions for making elections to have your LLC treated for income tax purposes as either a C corporation or as an S corporation--options that can save you thousands of dollars annually in taxes.
