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.

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 ownership or voting control will be evenly divided (for example, 50/50), there may be no majority when the owners disagree.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Choose PLLC for law or another service requiring a professional entity; every owner and manager must be eligible in New York. Choose LLC for other businesses, including licensed occupations like real estate, barbering, and security.

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.

This determines the newspapers used for publication and the publication cost.

Your answers determine the legal structure required to form your company.

If your responses raise issues you’d like help working through (for example, how decisions are made or what happens if something changes), we can address those before preparing any documents.

Once submitted, we’ll review your responses and confirm the appropriate structure and next steps.
