Business Entity Setup — MN LLC & S-Corp Election
We form your entity and set up your tax structure so bookkeeping and payroll can plug in cleanly—so how you operate, how you pay yourself, and how you file all match. Bookkeeping is the glue that keeps everything moving; payroll keeps S-Corp owners compliant.
When forming or electing an entity makes sense
- You want clean separation between personal and business assets.
- You are profitable and want a structure that supports tax efficiency.
- You need clear ownership, partner arrangements, or payout structure.
- You want your books and payroll set up to match how you file your taxes.
Minnesota LLC Formation $650
- Name availability check + Articles of Organization filed with Minnesota.
- EIN registration + basic MN tax account setup (as needed).
- Banking & bookkeeping checklist (accounts, W-9/1099 setup).
- Starter chart of accounts aligned to your tax return.
Optional: Annual Entity Support ($65/year).
S-Corp Election (Form 2553) $350
- Entity review to confirm S-Corp eligibility and fit.
- Form 2553 prepared and filed with the IRS.
- Clear explanation that S-Corps must run reasonable payroll to owner-employees.
