Pricing Budget & Services Breakdown
1. Attorney’s Fees
As you go through the process of forming your new limited liability company, there are always a lot of questions that come up before, during, and after the creation of the company.
Questions about:
What is the best type of entity for the business? Should it be an S corporation instead?
How do you complete your formation LLC documents?
What is sole proprietorship or partnership, and what is best for you?
What are S corporation election tax options?
How do you maintain your LLC documents every year?
What are the best ways to correspond with the government and anything that comes from the Internal Revenue Service?
How do you work and correspond with the California Franchise Tax Board and Secretary of State?
How do you document names (DBAs)?
What is the safest way to transfer and then document the transfer of corporate shares to your family trust?
and on and on… It can be overwhelming, frustrating, and discouraging.
The biggest problem small business owners have when setting up a Limited Liability Company is finding the person who truly understands their particular situation. Nearly no one can answer their unique questions, or provide insight to options specific to their business. General online advice the find on the internet does not help. There is no way it can fully comprehend and respond to your problems—it does not have the answer.
The majority of small business owners that work with our office want us to:
1) provide them a complete set of LLC
2) more importantly, be available to guide them through the steps AND ANSWER QUESTIONS to correctly set up their limited liability company.
Our fees to form a new limited liability company and to act as your legal guide through the process is $1,987.00. The initial retainer is $1,000.00 down and the balance payable as soon as I have all the LLC documents ready to sign (approximately 2-4 weeks); and, then $625.00 per year (due at the end of the first year) to take care of the Annual LLC Record Maintenance.
If you know exactly what you want and you do not need or want any legal consultation, you may go here for our LLC Documents ONLY Services.

If you need a faster turnaround time to meet personal deadlines, you will be charged an additional $550.00 rush fee by the Secretary of State for expedited processing.

2. Annual LLC Record Maintenance (Required) – $625 per year
