You should also consider:
- Which state should I form my business in?
- What type of entity should my business be?
- How do I keep my business separate from my personal assets?
- What if I’m just an online business? I don’t need all that extra stuff, right?
- How many Founders/Owners?
- Any investors? Potentially later?
- Will you have employees?
- What are your goals? (grow/sell/hold)
If this sounds like you…
You should be speaking with the
Queen of Business Law®
You know your business…
We know the law.
This is not the time to take on a DIY Project in place of seeking legal counsel. Critical filings, important internal documents, company specific contracts, and SEC compliance details can easily be missed if you attempt to DIY your business foundation.
WHICH ENTITY TYPE IS RIGHT FOR YOU?
S-corporations
S-Corporations have many benefits, the greatest of which involves tax liability, but they also have some drawbacks and strict legal requirements. That’s why it’s important to discuss your business plans with an S-Corporation Formation Lawyer to learn what’s right for your company.
We specialize in the intricate legal requirements and the variety of documents surrounding forming an S-Corporation business entity.
C-Corporation
C-Corporation is the most common type of corporation and is named for its tax designation under Subchapter “C” of the IRS Code. S-Corporation is reserved for social security number holders, and has tax benefits but investor limitations. APC or A Professional Corporation is another option for license and certificate holders. There are several different types of corporations. What type of business you are running will determine if Corporation is the correct entity choice, and which type of Corporation is best suited for your endeavor.
Our CORPORATION FORMATION service includes between six and ten different steps and a minimum of six vital internal documents. We will not only help your new business establish a solid foundation, but we will be there every step of the way as your business continues to grow.
llc
Forming an LLC is meant to help provide a corporate veil of protection for your personal assets should your business get sued. There are several different types of LLCs. What type of business you are running will determine if LLC is the correct entity choice and which type of LLC is best suited for your endeavor.
Our LLC FORMATION service includes between five and seven different steps and a minimum of four vital internal documents. We will not only help your new business establish a solid foundation, but we will be there every step of the way as your business continues to grow.
- Choosing an appropriate name for your LLC.
- Appointing a registered agent.
- Filing California Articles of Organization and making your LLC official
- Filing a Statement of Information (Form LLC-12)
- Creating an operating agreement
- Fulfilling tax requirements
- We can also help you obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN) if you need one and register for State taxes.
Non-profit
Non-Profit organizations are formed in the best interest of the public and have some of the strictest regulations. The type of NP that you will form will vary based on the specific purpose/cause your business serves. These range from supporting educational clubs, sports clubs, religious groups, amongst other public benefit purposes.
Our NON-PROFIT FORMATION service includes seven IRS-required policy documents in addition to the other six vital internal documents. We will walk you through the entire process with ease. Not only will we help your new business establish a solid foundation, but we will be there every step of the way as your business continues to grow.
Our Work Speaks For Itself:

I was referred to Kelly at Bagla Law and advised she comes highly recommended, I can 100% confirm that. The service provided was professional and our case was dealt with promptly. Despite the time difference as i am based in the UK, Kelly always responded to my emails and concerns within a few hours of my reaching out, I often wondered if she ever got any sleep. For any business related query I would highly recommend Bagla Law. They are very knowledgeable at what they do and most especially the communication was 100% which I really appreciated. Thank you. Very happy client.

Kelly is a Five Star Business Attorney. She understands what it means to be in business as a solo preanieur and she KNOWS the laws that effect small businesses. She has written two books, "Go Legal Yourself" which is a must read for every person who has started, operates, or is considering starting a small business. I could tell you what I learned from reading it but more important I highly recommend you buy it and read it so you will gain the knowledge and educate yourself. She will soon publish her second book and I can pretty much guarantee it will be as valuable to business owners as "Go Legal Yourself". I highly recommend Kelly Begala for all you business Legal requirements.

Laura McGee
I have to give Kelly Bagla 5 stars for being one of the truly exceptional attorneys who are there to add value to you and your business. She will help you, no matter the stage you are in: start-up, growth, transition or working towards retirement to ensure you are fully protected and in many cases have successfully established an asset you can sell. Kelly has the skill and experience she earned working with the high profile big billing law firms, but she brings you that knowledge, skill and experience for a fraction of the price because, like any good business person, she shed the overhead and can pass the savings on to you without diluting her services.
