How We Process Your Order

We don't just file it and forget it like other services. We utilize a complete step-by-step process to make sure your company is started right.

1. After reviewing/submitting an order on our 3 Step Order Form, you will receive an automatic e-mail confirmation and Order #.

2. We begin processing your order on the next Business Day or the Same Day if received by Noon.

3. We review your order for spelling, statute compliance and accuracy before processing payment.

4. If there are any issues about your order that need to be resolved we will contact you, otherwise we will process payment and begin working on your order.

5. Once payment is processed, you will have access to the "My Account" section of our site so you can instantly download The New Corporation Handbook or The New LLC Handbook, track your order, view a complete State-Specific Startup Checklist (includes links to all the government agencies in your State) and much more!

6. We check the company name for availability with the State (if your name choices are not available we will contact you for new choices).

7. Once the name has been cleared we will prepare your business formation documents and forward them to the State filing office. If your signature is required, we will then forward the documents to you with prepaid envelopes for you to forward directly to the State.

We will also send you a confirmation email stating that we have sent the filing to the State and what you should expect next.

8. Please make sure you are aware of your State's Average Processing Time before ordering. This time estimate is the time required for the State to receive, review, file and return the documents to our office and is based on our experience with that State.

Please Note: this is how long ALL other services, lawyers, etc. will take: the state processes filings in the order they are received. Some of our competitors claim they can file faster than the state's average processing time which is not to be believed.

9. We check on the status of your filing at least weekly (usually more) to ensure proper processing by the State. We will put the result of these status checks in the "Order Status" section of the "My Account" area for you to review. We will also notify you via email the same day we receive your filing back from the State.

10. On the next business day after receiving your filed paperwork, we will:

• Scan your filed documents for you to immediately access them from the "My Account" area of our website.
• Complete your order and ship it to you via your chosen shipping method. This includes preparing personalized Bylaws, Operating Agreements, Prepared Federal Tax ID's, etc. Also, we will order any additional products/services at this time (Corporate/LLC kits, Online Credit Builder, Quickrecords, etc.).

What You Will Receive From Us When Your Order is Complete

• Welcome Letter
• Instructions for Downloading our FREE forms, resolutions, etc.
• Startup Checklist
• Filed Business Formation Paperwork
• Organizational Minutes and Instructions
• Personalized Corporate Bylaws or Operating Agreement.
• Other Optional Products you have ordered: Prepared FEIN, S-Corp Election, etc.

Simply follow the step-by-step startup checklist we have provided to properly complete the setup of your new company! 

Important Notes:

• Federal Tax ID's (FEIN) require the company to be officially filed by the state before the IRS will issue them. If you utilize our FEIN Preparation service, we will show you how to obtain your FEIN instantly once your filing has been accepted by the state.
• You should not utilize a company name until it has been officially filed by the state.
• Make sure that you submit 2 name choices and that they are different, not simply the same name with a different ending (i.e. ABC Inc. is considered the same as ABC Corporation ).
• Corporate and LLC Kits ship separately from the Welcome Kit via FedEx 3-5 Day Ground Shipping.
