Ohio Statutory Agent Update

If your business is already established and you’re hiring us to take over as your registered agent, you’ll need to submit paperwork documenting that change. Luckily, we’ve got you covered.

For $50—including state fees—we’ll change your registered agent for you. Simply select “yes” from the drop-down menu under the “Change Registered Agent” section when you’re signing up for our Registered Agent Service.

Ohio Articles of Organization & Incorporation

We offer our registered agent clients no-fuss business formation filings for only $100 plus state fees. To begin doing business, the first of any Ohio business filings you’ll need to complete is submitting your formation paperwork to the Ohio Secretary of State.

If you’re starting an LLC, we prepare and file your Articles of Organization. Likewise, if you’re forming a corporation, we file your Articles of Incorporation for For-Profit Corporations or Articles of Incorporation for For Non-Profit Corporations.

Through your online account, you can order additional services and access free structure-specific business documents, such as member certificates and corporate bylaws drafts. You’ll also get lifetime client support and reminders about important dates for your business.

Ohio Foreign LLC and Corporation Registration

Are you expanding your out-of-state business into Ohio? Once you’ve retained us to serve as your registered agent, you can hire us to help complete your Ohio business filings for foreign company registration for just $100 plus state fees.

For LLC owners, we offer filing assistance for your Registration of a Foreign Limited Liability Company form. For corporation owners, we provide filing support for both Foreign For-Profit Corporation Application for License and Foreign Non-Profit Corporation Application for License forms. We’ll even obtain a certificate of good standing from your home state, so you don’t have to.

S-Corp Tax Status

We provide S-Corp filing for a flat fee of $100. You may think that an S-Corp is a type of corporation, but it’s actually a tax filing status available to both corporations and LLCs that meet specific requirements:

• Be domestic
• Have no more than 100 shareholders
• Have only permitted shareholders
  • Shareholders must be individuals (no other corporations or LLCs; some tax-exempt trusts, estates, and other organizations are eligible)
  • No resident alien shareholders
• Have only one class of stock

S-Corp status allows corporations to avoid double taxation by adopting a pass-through taxation structure. With S-Corp status, your corporation’s profits are only taxed after they have been distributed to shareholders. For LLCs, filing taxes under S-Corp status may also reduce self-employment tax for owners.

Apostilles

An apostille is a certificate issued by a government organization that helps authenticate public documents for international use. Apostilles are accepted by countries that have signed the 1961 Hague Convention treaty.

If your company conducts business internationally, you may need to obtain apostilles for documents like your certificate of good standing, operating agreement, or corporate bylaws to become authorized to operate in another country or as a part of creating a contract with an international company.

Because we know that time is often of the essence in situations involving international communication, we offer our registered agent clients apostille service with overnight shipping for $300 so that you can receive your authentication certificates as quickly as possible.
