How We Work & Pricing

All our Entity Formation Packages and Start-Up Packages are customized to meet the specific needs of each client. Generally, we’ll start out with a brief phone call or email exchange to determine if we’re a good fit. If we’re a good match, we’ll send you a list of information and documents required to evaluate your business and create a Legal Plan. Your Legal Plan will be a customized list of the legal steps you need to address. It will also include a list of some legal issues to be aware of as your business grows.

Entity Formation and Start-Up Packages Include

Business or Project Name Vetting (to avoid trademark infringement)
Filing of state required entity formation documents
Establishment of Employer Tax Identification Number
Operating Agreement (for LLCs) or Bylaws (for Corporations)
DBA Filing, if needed

Our Entity Formation and Start-Up Packages plans begin at $699 and go up to $4000+. Most clients find themselves in the $699 to $2000 range. Please note that government filing fees are not included in pricing, but we will always tell you in advance what government fees you can expect to pay.

Shoe String Budget Option

For those on a shoestring budget, a Legal Consultation meeting may be enough to get you the information necessary to attempt a DIY Start-Up. During the consultation, you will ask your most pressing legal questions, and we will give you succinct answers that allow you to take action. Obviously, only so much can be accomplished in 1 hour, so these sessions work best for women who have the time, motivation, and energy to DIY. A Legal Consultation costs $225 per hour. Virtual and in-person appointments available.
