When it comes to picking a business name, even the most confident business owner can have doubts about whether a name is really the right fit for the company. As an attorney, CPA, or other licensed business professional, you understand that part of your job includes holding your client’s hand through this process, while also making his decision on easier one. And that’s where we come in.

Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can run a name availability check with the Secretary of State and have the results back to you within a few hours. You want to make sure you do not support your client in choosing a business name that is already in use or sounds to similar to an existing name on the records of the Secretary of State or is misleading to the public. Making any one of the mistakes can result in your client’s corporation or LLC not being allowed to use the initial name of their choosing.

Is your client interested in converting his or her business from an LLC to an incorporation? Thanks to Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc., converting from a limited liability corporation (LLC) to an S Corp or C Corp has never been easier.

Why would a business want to switch to an incorporation? Several reasons, many of which come down to finances. For example, you might want your client to take advantage of the tax benefits an incorporation provides.  A corporation offers more tax write-offs than an LLC and allows the business to operate past the owners death, unlike an LLC. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can assist you in incorporating a business in each of the 50 states.

Your state may or may not accept a business entity conversion form that allows you to quickly convert from one business type to the next. If your state does not, you will need to dissolve the LLC and establish an incorporation, which Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can do quickly. However, before you do anything, have us run a name availability check. You might discover that your client’s business name is not available as an incorporation, which is good to know before your client officially changes over to a C or S Corp.

As every corporate or small business attorney or CPA who has assisted a client in starting a new business is aware, appointing a registered agent is part of the incorporation process. A registered agent is the individual or company that you, as your client’s representative, name to receive your client’s service of process and other official notices. Notices include important information such as state franchise tax notices pertaining to your client’s new business or the paperwork the state sends for the yearly renewal of the business entity’s charter. Additionally, service of process is how a third party gives you and your client’s company notice of a pending legal matter, allowing as you to respond accordingly.

A requirement under Article 9 of the Uniform Commerical Code, our clients (attorneys, CPAs, enrolled agents, and other licensed professionals) are regularly requesting UCC Filings for their businesses, as well as those of their clients. A UCC filing is a financial statement submitted to the Secretary of State that details the corporate cash flow, internal rates of return, and balance sheets.

For example, when your client’s personal business assets are used as collateral for borrowing, a UCC-1 statement is prepared, signed, and filed; thereby creating a secured loan. The filing creates a lien against the the property which your client must pay off the debt before disposing of the property. The lien is registered in the state in which the business is located.
