Common questions
Business setup questions, answered.
What should I prepare before the consultation?
Before your appointment, tell us what the business will do, where it will operate, who will own it and when you expect to start. Share any existing formation or tax documents through our secure client portal.
This helps us prepare to discuss your setup, the work involved and the fees.
How are fees determined?
Fees depend on the business setup and advice you need. Basic formation support includes a brief consultation.
Is an LLC the same as an S corporation?
No. An LLC is a legal business structure. S corporation status is a federal tax election available to eligible businesses, including some LLCs. We’ll explain the distinction and discuss what fits your situation.
Will forming a company lower my taxes?
Not automatically. Tax results depend on how the business is taxed, its income and your circumstances. We consider ongoing costs and responsibilities as well as potential tax benefits.
Are state filing fees included?
No. State filing fees and third-party costs, including required publication costs for applicable New York LLC formations, are separate. We explain expected costs before proceeding.
Can you help if I already formed my business?
Yes. We can review your setup and discuss tax elections, filing needs and bookkeeping support.
Do I need to visit your office?
No. We can work together by phone, email and secure client portal, or meet by appointment at our Port Washington office.
