Business Formation

Set up correctly from day one, so there is nothing to fix later.

LLC and S-Corp formation, EIN registration, and entity structure advice built on your actual projected numbers, not a default recommendation given to every client.

Set up correctly from day one, not fixed later at a higher cost

Most of the expensive business structure mistakes we see could have been avoided at formation: an LLC with no operating agreement, an S-Corp election filed late, an EIN application that never got completed correctly. Hasco Tax Advisors handles LLC and S-Corp formation, EIN registration, registered agent guidance, and entity structure advice, so your business starts on solid ground instead of needing a cleanup engagement a year later.

Formation is often the first conversation before an ongoing bookkeeping or tax relationship, and getting the structure right from the beginning is one of the highest-leverage decisions a new business makes.

LLC Formation

State filing, operating agreement, and EIN registration handled as one coordinated process, not separate disconnected steps.

S-Corp Election

Timely election filing (Form 2553), with a clear analysis of whether the election actually benefits your specific income level.

EIN Registration

Federal EIN applications handled correctly the first time, including for foreign-owned entities that often hit unnecessary delays.

Registered Agent Guidance

Clear direction on registered agent requirements by state, so compliance notices never get missed.

Getting It Right

The structure decision that shapes every tax return that follows

LLC vs. S-Corp, decided with real numbers

An S-Corp election only produces meaningful tax savings once net profit clears a real threshold, typically in the $45,000 to $60,000 range. Below that, the added cost of payroll and a separate tax return often outweighs the benefit. We walk through your actual projected numbers before recommending an election, not a default answer given to every client.

The operating agreement most new LLCs skip

An operating agreement is not legally required in most states, which is exactly why so many LLCs never get one. It defines ownership percentages, how profit is split, and what happens if a member leaves, questions that are far cheaper to answer in writing at formation than to resolve later through dispute.

EIN issues that specifically affect foreign founders

Non-U.S. residents forming a U.S. LLC face a specific EIN application process that does not go through the standard online system. Getting this step wrong is one of the most common causes of multi-month delays for foreign-owned entities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Business formation, answered directly

Most new businesses should start as an LLC and consider an S-Corp election once profit is consistent and clears a meaningful threshold, typically $45,000 to $60,000 in net profit. Electing too early adds payroll costs without a matching tax benefit.
State filing timelines vary, typically a few business days to a few weeks depending on the state. EIN registration for U.S. residents is usually same-day; for foreign founders it can take several weeks due to the different application process required.
Yes. We regularly form U.S. LLCs for non-U.S. residents and handle the specific EIN application process required for foreign founders, along with the ongoing Form 5472 compliance that comes with foreign-owned single-member LLCs.
It is not legally required in most states, but it is still recommended. A single-member operating agreement reinforces the separation between you and the business, which matters if your LLC's liability protection is ever challenged.
Once your EIN is issued, you can open a business bank account, and most businesses set up monthly bookkeeping from day one to avoid a cleanup engagement later. We provide a clear next-steps checklist as part of every formation engagement.
