LLC, S-Corp, or sole proprietor, we run the numbers on your projected revenue and set up your entity correctly the first time.
The entity structure mistakes that cost landscaping businesses the most money almost always happen in the first one to three years: the wrong structure for the revenue level, no EIN or business bank account, or an S-Corp election filed at the wrong time.
We help new and early-stage landscaping businesses choose the right structure for their situation, sole proprietor, LLC, or S-Corp, and handle the formation paperwork, EIN application, and initial bookkeeping setup so you start clean.
The right entity structure at $40,000 in net profit looks different from the right structure at $150,000. Getting this decision right early avoids an expensive re-structuring project later, and avoids leaving money on the table while you wait to fix it.
We look at your projected first-year and near-term revenue to determine which structure makes financial sense now, and when it might change.
We guide you through LLC formation in your state and file an S-Corp election if the numbers support it.
We help you get a business bank account, EIN, and clean chart of accounts in place before your first transaction, not after.
This service is available remotely to landscaping businesses nationwide. Here are a few states with specific considerations worth reading.
Most brand-new businesses start as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC and consider an S-Corp election once net profit reaches a level where the payroll administration cost is outweighed by self-employment tax savings. We'll project your numbers and tell you where that point likely is for you.
Generally, you should form your LLC in the state where you actually do business rather than a state with no connection to your operations, forming out-of-state usually just adds registration requirements and cost without the benefit people expect. State-specific filing fees and annual requirements vary, so confirm current requirements with us for your state.
This varies by state processing times, which change periodically. We'll give you a current estimate for your state when we start the filing.
