How Formations helped me?

I have been with Formations for a few months. They have guided me in every financial aspect of managing my business.

I joined Formations because I wanted to open an LLC and enjoy the benefit of being protected. I also needed guidance with payroll processing, tax payments, how frequently I should file taxes, and how to obtain the most benefits from tax planning.

Getting Onboard with Formations

As a self-employed design and development professional, I need to focus on my work, finish my projects in a timely manner, and manage clients. For years, I kept my setup very simple as a sole proprietor but this meant I wasn’t operating under the most beneficial model.
I knew I had to incorporate myself to be protected from liabilities and to save on taxes. Opening an LLC, and operating as an S-Corporation in particular, opened a whole new realm of possibilities to me. As a small business owner, everything was on my shoulders. I felt that the tax rules and regulations were overwhelming, and I didn’t have the time or the expertise to learn every nuance. The Formations team was helpful in guiding me through the process of incorporation, understanding how to manage my business, explaining the difference in my tax liabilities when I’m no longer a sole proprietor, and clarifying what happens to my sole proprietorship.
