Has anybody done it before ? What tool did you use ? I heard of Clerky/Stripe Atlas etc. but would love to get some experiences.
I incorporated using a $20 nolo book. It has all forms and procedures.
How long did it take you for the research + incorporation ?
10+ years back, 1 week. CA corporation. With FEIN, CA EIN one month.
Get an attorney.
I would have if there were multiple owners / other complications. But looks like an overkill; was hoping that there are tools which help me do this
Atlas can help you start one but, as you’ll see if you go through their onboarding, you really need an attorney to review docs, help with taxes (particularly for online businesses) and more. You should do an initial consultation to figure out which type of sole-owner legal entity you should form. Source: I have an LLC and a Delaware C (the latter being through Atlas)
