Rates?

You’re going to love our fees!

Here are the two main reasons you’ll enjoy paying our fees:

1. Our turnaround time is same day, so you get more for your money. Some companies (LZ) will keep you waiting for a couple weeks for some of their incorporation packages! Other companies charge you RUSH service in order to register you the same day with the state – we don’t, it’s always rush in our minds.

2. Our rates are less than most companies. Compare us on our Subchapter S, or any type of incorporation.

One of our main ideas is that we want to provide a valuable incorporation service to anyone wanting to incorporate their Wisconsin business with less stress doing it than they could somewhere else.

We save you a lot of cash on your incorporation. Put simply, the fees to process your company registration with Wisconsin State including same day service, help with your EIN (Employer Tax ID Number) and helping you file for Subchapter S status will be:

• Profit Corporation: $225
• Subchapter S Corporation: $225
• Limited Liability Company: $225
• Non-Profit Company: $165

Adding several hundred dollars to the State of Wisconsin incorporation fees to help you incorporate isn’t fair. There are a lot of companies that do it though (LegalZoom).

We know we’re offering a valuable service, but we also know you don’t want to break the bank on incorporating your business.

Letting us help you incorporate your business is a surefire…

Why Inc.?

The WHY of incorporating your new business is the easy part.

Two reasons that convince most people are these:

1. Creating a business entity separate from yourself is like making a buffer between you and your personal assets – car, boat, house, savings, stock, etc and the business. If you’re a sole proprietor or in a partnership you can have your clock cleaned as a result of a court case against your business. You might lose everything that you’ve worked hard to get. On the other hand, if you incorporate you’re protected from having your personal assets taken in most cases. This is the PRIME reason for incorporating your business.

2. Saving money on taxes.

We all realize we need to pay taxes – but, if we can legally save money while paying taxes – what’s better than that? Incorporating your business allows you to take advantage of specific IRS tax breaks that will keep money you have in your pocket, not in a check written to the IRS. This is the number 2 reason for incorporating your business.

These two reasons alone should be impetus enough to get you moving to incorporate your Wisconsin business.

There are other advantages to incorporation, and specific advantages you can explore more by reading about LLC’s and Subchapter S corporations (S-Corporations).

Creating a corporate entity gives your business other options like introducing a higher probability that angel or other investors will loan you money.

Getting incorporated in Wisconsin is easy.

1. Choose a type of corporate entity. This is a legal entity that is taxed according to IRS statutes. The EIN / Federal Tax ID number is like a social security number for your business. When you have it – it means you as a person are separate from your business according to the IRS. Each has tax obligations and rules to follow. Luckily for you incorporation provides tax advantages in many cases – all you need to do is take advantage of them.

2. Come to StartWisconsinBusiness.com and fill out the appropriate form.

3. Choose any other services, like registered agent if you don’t live in Wisconsin or know someone that will act as registered agent for your Wisconsin business. Add a corporate kit because you’ll be buying one anyway and we have a deluxe kit for a very fair price.

4. Pay with a credit card using Paypal or Google Checkout. Or even call us on the phone – up to you.

Which Type of Inc.?

There are 4 incorporation types you can choose here at StartWisconsinBusiness.com. Each type has inherent advantages and disadvantages, but overall – you are best off to incorporate your business for two main reasons:

1. Protection of personal assets in the case of litigation against your business.

2. Money saved in taxes each year. Invariably business owners save money after they incorporate because they can take advantage of many accounting tips to save money on taxes.

If you’re like most of the visitors we get at this site you’re probably asking yourself what is the incorporation type that best fits your Wisconsin business.

It’s a popular question and one that every new business owner must consider carefully.

Most visitors are able to figure out which business type is right on their own after reading the pages of information we have here on-site. Others will ask (pay) a lawyer or accountant for an hour of their time and come back here and register – saving a ton of money off the lawyer and accountant fees to register the company themselves.

Probably after reading the informration we have here about LLC, Profit, S Corporations, and Non-profit corporations you’ll come to your own conclusion about what business entity fits your particular situation.

Choosing a type of Wisconsin corporation is not the hardest thing you ever did in your life. Thousands upon thousands of businesses incorporate every year in Wisconsin. LLC’s and Subchapter S corporation types are very popular and the majority of small businesses fall under these two types.

How Long to Inc.?

The time it takes you to incorporate will be less than you expect.

The short answer is it will take 1-3 days on average before the state registers your corporation.

How long does it take us to submit your registration to the state after checking for errors? Same business day is our usual turnaround time, unless it happens to be a weekend or holiday and then it will be the next business day.

We like to process your order as fast as possible and that’s usually 1-2 hours from the time you submit your online form to us.

The difference between us and nearly everyone else out there doing incorporation services for Wisconsin is that we’re giving you rush speeds for our normal rate. In fact, our “normal rates” are probably also less than what you’ll pay elsewhere for incorporation registration.

We’re happy for you to compare us to the best known in the industry – LegalZoom. Why? Well, because we’re always a couple hundred dollars cheaper. We’re faster. We include the two things most business owners want with their corporation: 1. EIN and 2. Subchapter S help. Other companies will charge you $50 to $300+ to add those two things on to your basic incorporation fees!

Here at Start Wisconsin Business we process your form quickly and efficiently and don’t ask you to pay for rush service – we include it every time.

Once we receive your incorporation application we will review it and submit it to the State of Wisconsin through our secure electronic account. The State of Wisconsin will then process it and email your corporate documents to you in about one business day.

If it’s essential that your corporation be filed with Wisconsin State today, please call 888-905-7380 so we can try to help you meet that deadline.
