Business Registration & Compliance Services
Start your business correctly from day one and stay compliant with state and federal regulations.
Launching a new business is an exciting time. But navigating the complex world of legal structures, state filings, and tax registrations can be overwhelming. Making the wrong choice at the start—like choosing the wrong business entity—can lead to unnecessary taxes, increased liability, and costly fixes down the road.
You don't have to do it alone.
Fred Lundin CPA provides comprehensive business registration and compliance services to get your new venture started on the right foundation. We guide you through the entire process, from entity selection to your first tax filings, and we help you maintain your good standing year after year.
What We Do: Your Formation & Compliance Partner
We handle the paperwork and strategic decisions so you can focus on building your business.
New Business Formation & Registration
We'll help you select the right structure and file all the necessary startup documents.
- Entity Selection Guidance: We explain the pros and cons of each structure (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, S-Corporation, C-Corporation) from both a tax and liability perspective.
- LLC & Corporation Formation: We prepare and file your Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State.
- S-Corporation Election: For qualifying LLCs and C-Corps, we'll file Form 2553 with the IRS to secure potential tax advantages.
- Federal EIN Application: We will obtain your Employer Identification Number (EIN) from the IRS, which is your business's federal tax ID.
- State & Local Registrations: We'll help you register with the Department of Revenue and other state or local agencies as needed.
- Registered Agent Services: We act as your official Registered Agent, receiving all legal notices and state correspondence on your behalf so you never miss a critical deadline.
- Annual Report Filings: We ensure your state-mandated annual reports are filed accurately and on time to avoid penalties or dissolution.
- Good Standing Maintenance: We help you track and meet all your ongoing compliance requirements to protect your business's legal status.
- DBA / Fictitious Name Filings: We can file any "Doing Business As" (DBA) names you need to operate under a different brand.
Staying compliant is not a one-time event. We keep your business in good standing.
Why Use a CPA for Business Formation?
You could use an online-only filing service, but they can't offer what we do: strategic advice.
A cheap filing service can file your LLC, but they can't tell you why an S-Corp election might save you thousands in self-employment tax. We don't just fill out forms; we build the right foundation for your financial future.

- Tax-Focused Strategy: We connect your business structure directly to your long-term tax plan.
- Avoid Costly Mistakes: We get it done right the first time, helping you avoid penalties, back-taxes, and legal status issues.
- Peace of Mind: Focus on your launch knowing that all your registrations and compliance are handled by a professional.
