Many companies choose to have their Registered Agent services bundled with accounting and legal assistance because these fields complement each other perfectly.

What types of entities require a Registered Agent?
Most businesses, including LLCs, Corporations (S-Corp and C-Corp), and Non-Profits, are required to have a Registered Agent in the state of formation. A Sole Proprietorship does not require one, as the business owner is personally responsible for receiving legal documents. However, LLCs, Corporations, and Non-Profits need a Registered Agent to receive important official correspondence, such as:
Tax documents
Legal notices and lawsuits
State compliance-related correspondence
By designating our firm as your Registered Agent, you ensure that your business remains compliant with state regulations while also gaining access to our comprehensive legal and accounting services when necessary.
How does an LLC differ from a Corporation (Corp)?
An LLC (Limited Liability Company) and a Corporation (Corp) are two popular business structures, but they differ in several ways:
Liability Protection:
LLCs offer personal liability protection for their owners (members). This means that members are not personally responsible for the LLC's debts or legal obligations.
Corporations, such as C-Corps and S-Corps, also provide liability protection for their shareholders. However, corporate "shells" can sometimes be pierced in cases of fraud or illegal activities, potentially exposing shareholders to personal liability.
Taxation:
LLCs enjoy pass-through taxation, meaning that the business's profits and losses pass directly to the owners, who report them on their personal tax returns.
Corporations (C-Corps) are subject to double taxation: the corporation pays taxes on its income, and shareholders pay taxes on dividends received.
However, an LLC can elect to be taxed as a Corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp), which affects income tax but does not change the LLC's underlying legal structure.
Formation and Flexibility:
LLCs are generally easier and more flexible to manage than corporations. They have fewer formalities, and members can structure the LLC in ways that best suit their needs.
Corporations have more formal requirements, such as holding annual meetings and keeping detailed corporate records.
Can an LLC elect to be taxed as a Corporation?
Yes, an LLC can elect to be treated as either a C-Corp or S-Corp for tax purposes by filing the appropriate forms with the IRS (Form 8832 for C-Corp, and Form 2553 for S-Corp). However, this election does not change the LLC's legal structure. It only affects how the business is taxed.
LLC taxed as a C-Corp: The LLC will be taxed as a corporation, subject to corporate tax rates, and profits will be taxed at both the corporate and individual levels (double taxation).
LLC taxed as an S-Corp: The LLC will avoid double taxation, as profits are passed through directly to shareholders, who report them on their personal taxes.
However, unless elections are made, an LLC with multiple members is typically treated as a Partnership for tax purposes and must file IRS Form 1065.
What makes LLCs ideal for real estate investments?
LLCs are often the preferred choice for holding and managing real estate because they provide liability protection while allowing for easy ownership transfer. Originally designed to offer a simple way to protect assets and manage property investments, LLCs offer several advantages in the real estate space:
Asset Protection: LLCs protect owners from personal liability in case of lawsuits or creditor claims.
Pass-Through Taxation: The LLC's profits and losses are passed through to the members, which is ideal for real estate investors who want to offset income with property-related deductions.
Flexible Ownership: LLCs offer flexibility in ownership and management, making it easy to bring in additional investors or partners for joint ventures.
How does your firm help with legal and accounting matters beyond Registered Agent services?
We are a full-service business firm with a broad range of services that go beyond just Registered Agent work. In addition to our accounting and legal services, we can help with:
