Company formation starts after several administrative procedures are completed and the individual needs are translated into the corporate structure. The incorporation of the company requires the appointment of at least one director, the issuance of share certificates and the approval of the business license. Also, the internal rules, procedures and responsibilities must be codified in the bylaws of the company.
The Department of Licensing is responsible for the application process that permits companies to conduct business in Washington state. In the United States, each individual state can decide its own requirements for companies to operate legally. Failure to comply with the licensing requirements permit government agencies to fine or close a business. The business license must be renewed annually.

Income tax in the USA is imposed at federal, state and local levels. The (for profit) C corporation is taxed separately from its owners under federal income tax. A sophisticated corporate structure can thus result in a tax neutral position for the owners of the company.

To ensure that our clients can focus on building and growing their business, several mandatory professional and (mainly) administrative tasks can be provided by us.
