All of the incorporation packages are competitively priced. At prices comparable to what online incorporation services charge for basic, preprinted forms, we will handle the entire scope of business incorporation for you. The full service incorporation includes all tasks incidental to incorporating your business. Most clients will only pay incorporation fees of $235.00 plus the Secretary of State filing fee of $95.00 which includes the additional charge for the over-the-counter processing. We also provide California bylaws and Organizational Minutes of the Board at no additional cost. Please refer to the California Incorporation Fees and Costs page for more on services available.
