FAQs

FAQs

  • What type of business structure is right for me?

    Your business goals and needs determine the best structure. LLCs offer flexibility and liability protection, while corporations may be better for businesses seeking investors. We’ll help you weigh your options.

  • What are the steps to register a business in Missouri?

    Registration includes selecting a name, filing formation documents with the Secretary of State, and obtaining local permits and an EIN. Our team ensures every step is completed correctly.

  • Do I need an operating agreement for my LLC?

    While it’s not legally required in Missouri, an operating agreement is strongly recommended to outline roles, responsibilities, and ownership.

  • What’s the difference between a sole proprietorship and an LLC?

    Sole proprietorships are simple but lack liability protection. LLCs shield personal assets and are a popular choice for small business owners.

  • Can you help with obtaining an EIN?

    Absolutely. We assist with securing your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS for tax purposes and hiring employees.
