Start your businesswith the right entityand a real tax plan

Forming a business is more than filing a form with the state. The structure you choose determines how you're taxed, how you pay yourself, what you owe quarterly, and how protected you are. We walk new owners in Grandville, Grand Rapids, and across West Michigan through that decision with real numbers attached.

Once the structure is set, we handle the registrations, the federal EIN, and the elections that go with it — so nothing is missed and nothing has to be unwound later.

An LLC is simple and flexible. An S-corp election can save meaningful self-employment tax once your profit reaches a certain level — but it also adds payroll requirements and a reasonable-compensation standard. We model your expected income both ways and recommend the option that actually leaves you with more, then handle the election paperwork if it makes sense.

The most expensive year for a new business is usually the first one done wrong. We set up your accounting, get payroll configured if you're hiring, calculate your estimated tax payments, and build a first-year plan — so you're never surprised by a bill you didn't budget for.
