Sakshi M.
US LLC & C-Corp Formation | Non-Resident & Startup Compliance
If you’re starting a business in the U.S., fixing an existing LLC or C-Corp, dealing with compliance, or preparing your company for investors, I help you get the legal and corporate side of the business properly structured. I provide U.S. business formation, corporate documentation, governance, contracts, and ongoing compliance support for both U.S. and non-U.S. founders. My focus is not simply on completing a filing or generating a document. I look at how the entity, ownership, agreements, corporate records, and compliance requirements fit together so your business has the right foundation as it grows. ↪️ U.S. Business Formation & Entity Structuring • LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp and other business entity formations • Delaware, Wyoming, New York, California and other states • Entity and state selection based on business activities, ownership and operational needs • Formation support for U.S. residents and non-U.S. residents • Foreign-owned U.S. business setup • EIN applications / Form SS-4 • Registered agent and initial compliance requirements • Initial organizational documentation and corporate records ↪️ Corporate Documents & Governance • LLC Operating Agreements • Corporate Bylaws and Incorporator Statements • Member, shareholder and board resolutions • Founder and Shareholder Agreements • Stock Purchase / Subscription Agreements • Equity issuance and ownership documentation • Cap table setup and Carta-related corporate documentation • Corporate governance and record-keeping • Pre-investment and investor-readiness documentation ↪️ Ongoing U.S. Compliance • BOI / BOIR and FinCEN-related compliance • State annual reports and franchise tax requirements • Federal and state compliance coordination • Sales tax registration and compliance support • Business license and local registration support • DBA / Doing Business As filings/ Trademark filings • Registered agent compliance • Ongoing corporate maintenance ↪️ Business Contracts & Operations • Employment agreements • Independent contractor agreements • NDAs and confidentiality agreements • IP assignment agreements • Consulting and service agreements • Founder and partnership arrangements • Commercial and operational contracts • Payroll and business compliance coordination • Bookkeeping setup/ Xero Books/ Quickbook Online/ Payroll and tax support. ↪️ Corporate Changes & Restructuring • LLC and corporate amendments • Entity name changes • Registered agent changes • Adding or removing LLC members • Ownership and management changes • Changes to corporate structure and governance • LLC ↔ C-Corp or S corp restructuring documentation • Dissolution and winding-up documentation • Corporate clean-up and documentation gaps ↪️ Tax & Annual Compliance Support • Annual federal and state compliance support • LLC and C-Corp filing coordination • Foreign-owned entity compliance support • Form 1120 / 5472 compliance coordination • Quarterly compliance requirements • State tax and franchise tax matters • Sales tax registration and compliance • Identification of potential overpayments, credits and eligible business tax refunds Why clients work with me I bring a legal and corporate perspective to U.S. business matters. That means I don't approach your business as a checklist of government forms. I consider the relationship between your entity structure, ownership, contracts, corporate records, compliance obligations, and future business plans. Whether you are: → A non-U.S. founder establishing a U.S. company → A startup preparing for investors → An existing LLC or C-Corp that needs corporate changes → A business that has fallen behind on compliance → A founder who needs contracts and corporate documentation → A company looking for ongoing legal and compliance support I can help you understand what needs to be done, prepare the appropriate documentation, and keep the process organized from start to finish. Send me a message with what you're setting up or what needs to be fixed, and I can help you identify the appropriate next steps.
