Business Formation & Incorporation Services in New Jersey

Complete Business Formation Services for New Jersey Entrepreneurs

Forming a business involves a lot more than filing paperwork with the state. The decisions you make during formation affect your taxes, personal liability, fundraising ability, and administrative requirements for years to come. Here’s how our comprehensive formation services set you up for success:

• Entity Structure Selection & Analysis

  

  Choosing between sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, S Corporation, or C Corporation determines your tax treatment, liability protection, and operational flexibility. Our team analyzes your business goals, revenue projections, ownership structure, and growth plans to recommend the entity type that best serves your needs.

• LLC & Corporation Formation

  

  We handle all formation filings with the New Jersey Division of Revenue — whether you're forming an LLC, S Corporation, or C Corporation. We prepare and file your Certificate of Formation or Incorporation, obtain your EIN from the IRS, and ensure that all required documents are properly filed.

• Operating Agreements & Corporate Bylaws

  

  Every business needs foundational documents that define ownership, management, and procedures. We draft comprehensive Operating Agreements for LLCs and Bylaws for corporations that prevent disputes, establish clear governance, and create procedures for major business decisions.

• Partnership Agreements

  

  Partnerships require clear agreements that define each partner's contributions, profit sharing, decision-making authority, and exit procedures. We draft comprehensive partnership agreements that protect each partner's interests and address next steps when partners want to leave or new partners join.

• S Corporation Tax Elections

  

  S Corporations provide liability protection while allowing profits to pass through to owners without corporate-level tax. We file Form 2553 with the IRS for S Corporation tax treatment, establish required formalities, and structure your compensation to maximize tax savings.

• Business Licensing & Compliance Setup

  

  Different businesses need different licenses depending on their industry, location, and activities. We identify required federal, state, and local licenses, guide you through application processes, and ensure you have all the necessary permits before starting operations.

• Initial Accounting System Setup

  

  Ensure your business has clean books from day one. We set up QuickBooks or other accounting software configured for your entity type, establish your chart of accounts, create processes for recording transactions, and train you on proper bookkeeping procedures.

• Entity Conversion & Restructuring

  

  In some situations, businesses outgrow their initial structure. We handle conversions from sole proprietorships to LLCs, partnerships to corporations, LLCs to S Corporations, and other restructuring needs while maintaining business continuity and optimizing your legal and tax structure.

Your Business Structure Affects Everything

The entity you choose determines your business’s taxes, liability protection, and administrative requirements. Our New Jersey CPAs help you select the right structure and form it correctly from the start.

Industry-Specific Business Formation Guidance

Different industries face unique formation considerations. Our specialized guidance addresses the specific challenges your business will encounter:

• 

  Law Firms

  

  Legal practices must comply with bar association rules governing firm structure and ownership. Our formation services for New Jersey law firms ensure compliance with professional regulations, establish proper trust account structures, address partnership agreements that handle client conflicts, and set up billing systems for legal services.

• 

  Cannabis

  

  Licensed cannabis businesses face strict regulatory requirements before they can operate. We help cannabis entrepreneurs choose the appropriate entity structures that satisfy licensing authorities, establish systems for regulatory compliance and inventory tracking, structure ownership to meet state requirements, and prepare financial systems for intensive regulatory scrutiny.

• 

  Real Estate

  Real estate professionals benefit from specific structures that protect personal assets from property liability. We form entities that hold individual properties separately, establish management companies for operational income, structure commission splits and profit distributions clearly, and create systems for tracking multiple properties and transactions efficiently.

• 

  E-Commerce

  Online retailers need structures that accommodate marketplace selling, inventory management, and multi-state operations. The entities we form work across state lines, advise on sales tax registration in multiple states, establish systems for tracking inventory and cost of goods sold, and prepare for eventual multi-channel expansion.

• 

  Wholesale & Distribution

  Wholesalers need structures that handle vendor relationships, inventory financing, and potentially significant liabilities. We establish entities that protect personal assets from business debt, create systems for tracking inventory and vendor payments, structure capital requirements for inventory investment, and plan for equipment financing and leases.

• 

  Digital Marketing Agencies

  Marketing agencies benefit from structures that limit liability from client campaigns and contractor relationships. We form entities that protect owners from client disputes, establish clear ownership percentages that accommodate sweat equity, create systems for project-based accounting, and address contractor classification from the start.

• 

  Retail

  Retail businesses need structures that protect personal assets from premises liability and employee claims. The entities we form separate retail operations from real estate holdings, establish procedures for multiple locations as you grow, create systems for inventory management and point-of-sale integration, and plan for seasonal cash flow variations.

• 

  Hospitality

  Restaurants and hotels face significant liability exposure that requires careful structure planning. We form entities that protect personal assets from business liabilities, separate property ownership from operations when appropriate, establish structures that accommodate investor capital, and create systems for tip reporting and labor cost tracking.

Formation Mistakes Are Expensive to Fix

If you choose the wrong entity structure or file documents incorrectly, you’ll face tax problems and legal complications that cost thousands to resolve. Get it right from the start with experienced guidance from our New Jersey formation specialists.

Our Proven Business Formation Process

Successful business formation isn’t a shot in the dark; it requires strategic planning, accurate documentation, and proper setup of financial systems. Here's how Demian & Company, LLC, ensures your business starts with a solid foundation:

1. 1. Discovery & Strategy Session

   We start by understanding your business concept, revenue model, ownership structure, growth plans, and personal financial goals. This consultation helps us identify the entity structure that offers the ideal combination of liability protection, tax efficiency, administrative simplicity, and future flexibility for your specific situation.

2. 2. Entity Selection & Formation Planning

   Based on our discovery session, we then recommend the optimal entity type and explain exactly why it fits your needs. We outline the formation steps, timeline, costs, and ongoing compliance requirements so you know what to expect. You'll have a complete understanding of the advantages and obligations of your chosen structure before we file anything.

3. 3. Document Preparation & Filing

   We prepare all formation documents, including Articles of Organization or Incorporation, Operating Agreements or Bylaws, initial resolutions, and any required tax elections. Then we file with the New Jersey Division of Revenue and the IRS, tracking your applications and ensuring everything is processed correctly.

4. 4. Post-Formation Setup & Compliance

   Once your entity is formed, we obtain your EIN, register for state taxes, set up your accounting system, provide guidance on business licenses, and ensure you understand ongoing requirements like annual reports and tax filings. Your business launches with all systems in place and full compliance established.

5. 5. Ongoing Advisory & Support

   Formation is just the beginning of our relationship. We’re also here to provide ongoing tax planning, accounting services, and strategic advice as your business grows. When you need to add partners, raise capital, or restructure, we'll help guide you through those transitions.
