Welcome & Instructions
These questions determine how your company should be structured and which formation service applies.
Please answer based on what will actually be true at formation, not what might happen someday.
If you’re unsure how to answer a question, that usually means the issue has not been fully decided yet.
We can work through those decisions before preparing any documents. Contact us if you need assistance.
There are no "right" answers, only answers that lead to different legal structures and services. If none of the available answers accurately describes your intended structure, contact us before submitting.
Your responses will determine the structure, scope, and price of the formation. We will review the classification before sending an engagement agreement.

Ownership
How many owners will the company have at formation?
Do not include someone who might become an owner later unless that person or entity will have an ownership interest at formation. If more than 10, the exact count will be confirmed before engagement.

If there is more than one owner, can decisions be made by majority vote without the risk of deadlock?
If ownership or voting control will be evenly divided (for example, 50/50), there may be no majority when the owners disagree.
Yes
No — Ownership or voting control could be evenly divided or otherwise result in deadlock
N/A — There will only be one owner
Will any owner’s percentage or participation change under terms established at formation? (vesting, staged buy-ins, future partners)?
Select “Yes” for arrangements such as vesting, staged buy-ins, or ownership changes that will be defined in advance.
Do NOT select “Yes” merely because another owner might be added someday.
Yes
No
Do you want the company’s documents to include a predefined process for an owner’s departure, a buyout, or a serious dispute?
This includes arrangements such as buy-sell procedures, forced buyouts, or deadlock-resolution provisions. Without a predefined process, these issues may be left to applicable law or future negotiation.
Yes
No
Will the company have a board or similar governing body that makes decisions instead of the owners?
Select “Yes” only if a separate governing body will be part of the company’s formal structure at formation.
This does not refer to an informal advisory board.
Yes
No
Management & Governance
How should the company’s formal management authority be structured?
Member-Managed: owners keep general authority, even when delegating tasks. Manager-Managed: designated managers decide and act for the LLC; owners retain reserved major decisions. Managers may be owners; this is not employee supervision.
Select an option
member-managed
manager-managed
How many designated managers will NOT be owners?
Select 0 if there will be no designated managers or every designated manager will also be an owner. If more than 10, the exact count will be confirmed before engagement.

Are you forming an LLC for a general business or a PLLC for a licensed professional practice?

Select an option
LLC
PLLC
Which of the following professions will the PLLC practice?
Select “Not applicable” if the business will not require a PLLC. If the PLLC will practice more than one profession, please contact us before submitting.

If a PLLC is required, how will the required professional affidavits be notarized?
Not applicable — The company will not require a PLLC, or the PLLC will practice law.
Have Jackling Law arrange remote online notarization for the required professional filings — the current cost is $25 per notarial act (generally one per document per signer) and will be added to the quoted price.
The proposed owners and designated managers will arrange their own notarizations — No firm-arranged notarization cost will be included.
