What Each Service Includes

Statewide Name Check

Our team will check your desired name against the state registration database to determine name availability. This process reduces the likelihood of your documents being rejected by a state official and allows us to proceed with the next phase of the incorporation filing.

24-Hour Document Preparation

No delays. Once your order is placed we confirm the availability of your company name with the state office. If the name is available, we prepare and submit your formation documents for filing within 24 hours.

Articles of Incorporation

Choose Express Filing and get your Articles filed faster and receive your filed documents via email & FedEx overnight delivery. The Articles of Incorporation, also known as the corporate charter or certificate of incorporation, are the documents that establish the existence of a corporation in its appropriate state.

Corporate ID Issuance

The Corporate ID number is a number issued by the Secretary of State used to uniquely identify your company. It is this number that separates your business from all the others in the state it was issued.

Free Corporate Reminders

As an established corporation, the necessity to file annual state and federal compliance documentation is a necessity. As part of the service by Contractor License Now, each corporation will receive reminders of each important document in time for proper filing and service.

S-Corp Election Preparation

An S-corporation is a popular choice among those who wish to avoid double taxation (once to the shareholders and again to the corporation). Contractor License Now will prepare your S-Corporation election form and will include this form as part of your final package.

Corporate Bylaws

The bylaws of a corporation are the set of rules governing how the affairs of a corporation will be conducted.

Corporate Minutes

Corporate minutes are the legal and official records of major activities and decisions incorporated by the organization. This applies to both single and multiple-director corporations by documenting, in writing, all major actions and decisions, such as issuing more stock, waivers, notices, minutes of meetings, and sample corporate resolutions.

Email of All Documents and Forms

As part of the service provided by Contractor License Now, we will email all filed documentation to your email for personal record keeping.

Registered Agent Service

Corporations and LLCs are required to maintain a registered agent. Please note that a Post Office Box or other “mail service” is often not sufficient to qualify as a registered agent. If you wish to keep your company’s address information confidential, designating Contractor License Now to act as your registered agent affords you that extra added layer of privacy. Contractor License Now can serve as your company’s registered agent for service of process in any state for an annual fee of $149 per year that is auto-renewed for your convenience.

EIN Application Assistance

Businesses are generally required to obtain a Federal Tax ID, also called an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which is used to identify the business entity. As part of this package, we help prepare and submit your EIN application to the IRS once your business formation is approved by the state office. An EIN can also be obtained directly from the IRS at no cost at any time.

Corporate Seal

Similar to the state seal, the corporate seal is the official mark of the corporation. Being that the corporation is a separate entity, the corporate seal acts as the signature of the corporation. Any legal or official document that emanates from the corporation may require a corporate mark that carries the weight and authority of the corporation.

Business Kit of Essential Forms

Corporations and LLCs are subject to many formalities after they are formed. This kit includes the tools your company needs to stay organized and keep your business documents in one place. Each binder is detailed with a customized corporate name stamped on the binder with a matching slipcase, and includes a customized corporate seal with your company name, state, and year of incorporation, 20 personalized stock certificates, and a library of essential business document templates — including agreements, notices, and standard business forms you’re likely to need as you operate.

Custom Corporate Binder

As detailed in the Business Kit above — your customized binder keeps every formation and compliance document organized and easy to find.

Local License & Permit Guide

This package provides a compiled reference guide covering the licenses, permits, and tax registrations typically required for a corporation operating in your local area — including licensing authority contact information, typical fee amounts, and the relevant application forms for you to review and submit. It’s a research and organization tool, not a substitute for confirming current requirements with your local licensing authority.

Contractor License Now is a private business formation and filing-assistance service. We are not a government agency, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the IRS, any Secretary of State, the CSLB, or any other government body.

An Employer Identification Number (EIN) can be obtained directly from the IRS at no cost. Where included, EIN application assistance is prepared and submitted as part of your selected package above.

Pricing shown reflects our service fees only. State filing fees, where applicable, are separate and paid directly to the state of incorporation.
