What it is
Most companies are incorporated in an afternoon using a template, and the cost of that afternoon shows up two years later during diligence. Missing board consents, founder shares issued without a vesting schedule, and intellectual property still sitting with the people who wrote it are the three findings that stall a funding round.
This service incorporates your company properly the first time. A corporate lawyer takes your founder split, your funding intentions and your jurisdiction, then produces the full formation set: charter, bylaws, board consents, share issuances with vesting, and the assignment paperwork that moves your product into the company that owns it.
You get a filed company and a document folder that survives investor diligence without a clean-up project.
What you receive
- Certificate of incorporation filed with the state registry
- Bylaws and initial board consents signed by all directors
- Founder share issuances with a four-year vesting schedule and one-year cliff
- Intellectual property assignment agreements for every founder and early contractor
- A starting cap table reconciled against the issued shares
- A 30-minute handover call with the lawyer who drafted the set

The clock starts when we have everything we asked for. If a document is outstanding, your lawyer tells you the same day rather than letting the deadline slide quietly.
Who this is for
This service is a fit if all of the following are true. If one is not, buy a strategy call instead and a lawyer will point you to the right route.
- You are forming a new company, or re-incorporating an existing one, in the United States
- You can confirm the founder equity split and the vesting terms you want applied
- You have no more than six founders and no existing outside investors
- You are not converting from an entity currently in insolvency proceedings
Questions people ask before buying
Does the price include the state filing fee?
No. The 890 dollar fee covers the legal work only. State filing fees are paid at cost and are shown to you before anything is submitted, so you are never billed a markup on a government charge.
Which state should I incorporate in?
Your lawyer will recommend one based on where you operate and whether you plan to raise institutional money. Delaware is the default answer for venture-backed companies, but it is a worse answer for a business with a single state of operation and no funding plans. You get the reasoning, not just the recommendation.
Can you handle a company that already exists?
Yes. If you incorporated using a template service and want the governance documents rebuilt properly, this service covers the remedial set. Tell us the current position in your intake form and the lawyer will confirm scope before starting.
What happens if my founder split changes mid-way?
Tell your lawyer before the share issuances are signed and the change is made at no extra charge. After signature, a revision is treated as a new instruction and quoted separately.
Do I need to be a US citizen or resident?
No. Non-residents can own and form US companies. You will need a registered agent in the state of formation, which we arrange, and you should expect the bank account opening to take longer than the incorporation itself.
