Steps to Form: The market offers a few options.

Ready to start?

• If you have already reviewed these sites and now want to start your business, you can proceed directly to the DC Government’s Business Center that offers a startup “Wizard.” Basic filing fees for all steps typically will cost a few hundred dollars.
• Typically for a few hundred more, you can visit automated third-party sites like LegalZoom or RocketLawyer that can consolidate more of the steps and offer a non-attorney typically to answer some of the more frequently asked questions. These are excellent options to get a business started.

Want more? The above-mentioned out-of-the-box templates are great for most purposes, but often are quite simplified, which can cause trouble to a company down the road – when issues arise concerning business sale, assignment and liquidation, etc. Because companies grow and pivot as the market changes, therefore we encourage you to start your business with these aspects tailored to your business. Contact us for a quick all-in-one package that is tailored to your business with the benefit of corporate counsel.
