Attorney-led formation foryour California corporation.
- 01Set up properly from day one.
A California corporate attorney sets up your corporation so name, ownership, and structure match California rules from day one.
- 02Your corporate name checked before filing.
Nothing is submitted blindly. Your attorney checks your proposed corporate name for availability and California naming rules before anything is filed.
- 03Complete formation and S-corporation election.
Instead of leaving you with state and tax steps to figure out on your own, we handle your complete incorporation—including custom bylaws, organizational minutes, stock purchase documents, share records, and a post-formation memorandum—plus your S-corporation tax election (if eligible) from start to finish.
- 04Direct access to your California corporate attorney.
Throughout your formation, whenever you have a question about your corporate name or setup, you speak directly with the California corporate attorney forming your corporation—no paralegals or call centers, with a same-day response.

What happens after I click Start? Do I need everything figured out first?
No. You only enter your basic details to get started. Nothing is filed until your attorney checks your proposed corporate name against California’s rules, confirms your details, and answers any questions you have.
Why form my California corporation with a corporate attorney instead of an online filing service?
An online filing site only submits whatever you type into a form—whereas a California corporate attorney handles your incorporation and S-corporation election personally so your company is set up properly for your bank and your CPA from day one.
Are there any hourly bills or extra fees for the S-corporation election?
Never. Your $1,495 flat fee covers your complete California corporation formation from start to finish—including standard California state filing fees, your S-corporation tax election, and direct access to your attorney whenever you have a question.
