US Startup Package - Company Formation & Minute Book (USD$1,500)

Our US Startup Package is a flat-fee option whereby our New York branch lawyers will help you strategically establish a new business entity in New York, Delaware, or Nevada. Here’s how it works:

  • For a flat fee of US$1,500, one of our attorneys will help you determine the best form for your new entity, taking into consideration your particular goals, plans, and circumstances.

  • We will facilitate the required filings to form your corporation, LLC, or other entity.

  • We will also prepare an organized digital minute book or company records book containing the entity’s formation documents, organizational resolutions or consents, governing documents, ownership records, and other package documents applicable to the entity type selected.

  • The flat fee includes standard government filing fees and routine disbursements (though additional state-specific requirements, expedited processing, registered-agent services, foreign qualification, and other filings outside the package scope are charged separately).

This package is designed for startups, including Canadian companies looking to expand to the US, seeking a properly structured business entity and forward-looking legal guidance.

If you already have a structure in mind, or would like advice on the appropriate entity type or state of formation, we invite you to book a consultation with one of our lawyers to discuss the next steps.

This package is subject to additional terms and conditions. Pricing is in United States Dollars (USD) subject to applicable taxes (if any). When we assist with an entity formed outside New York, our role is limited to coordinating the formation process and advising on the general corporate-structuring and cross-border matters within the agreed scope. Local counsel may be required for state-specific legal advice or work outside that scope.

  • A preliminary name search helps determine whether the proposed entity name is available in the selected state and identifies obvious conflicts before filing.

  • The best state depends on where the business will operate, the entity type, financing plans, governance needs, filing and annual costs, tax considerations, and investor expectations. We can discuss the choice during a paid consultation or after the firm has been retained for the package.
