Normal processing time for a new Connecticut Professional Corporation is 1-2 business days.

This is the time by which the Connecticut Secretary of State will either approve or deny the Professional Corporation application.  Connecticut Professional Corporation applications must be received by the Secretary of State before noon Connecticut time for the process to start that day. Another way to expedite your order is to choose the Express Mail option.  The Express Mail option can cut the document delivery time in half.

If you really need your original approved Articles of Incorporation in your hands quickly, the Express Mail option can cut the delivery time in half. The Express Mail option has no effect on the Connecticut Secretary of State's processing time. For the quickest turn-around time also choose the Expedited Service option.

S Corporations are taxed differently than C Corporations.  With an S Corporation, business profits may be "passed through" directly to the shareholders.  This avoids the double tax on both corporate and shareholder profits.  S Corporations do not pay any Connecticut Corporate Income Tax.

We can prepare the S Corporation Election form for you and include it with your Incorporation documents.

We will prepare and file your Annual Report with the Connecticut Secretary of State and include filing confirmation with your final Incorporation documents. 

Every Connecticut Professional Corporation is required to have an address within the state of Connecticut where official and legal correspondence can be delivered.  The individual or company that is registered with the state of Connecticut to receive all correspondence on behalf of the Professional Corporation is called a Registered Agent.

You may act as your own Registered Agent, however, many Professional Corporations hire a Registered Agent because they don't have a physical address within Connecticut or to provide a distinct level of privacy. 

We can act as your Connecticut Professional Corporation Registered Agent.  This is an annual service.  We will forward all correspondence to you and will remind you when it is time to renew your CT Registered Agent services.

Bylaws are the rules by which your Connecticut Professional Corporation must operate.  Every new Connecticut Professional Corporation requires bylaws.  Almost anything may be written into the bylaws, however, the bylaws must not be in violation of any law or your Connecticut Professional Corporation's Articles of Incorporation.

We can create customized initial bylaws for your Connecticut Professional Corporation that are based on your specific business requirements. As your company grows over time, you may amend your bylaws as necessary.

A Connecticut Good Standing Certficate is proof of the existence of your new Connecticut Professional Corporation. The Certificate is issued by the Connecticut Secretary of State and is proof that your CT Professional Corporation is not behind on any of its Connecticut Secretary of State Corporate obligations.

A Connecticut Good Standing Certificate is often required for loans, to apply for business licenses, or for tax or other business purposes in the state of Connecticut or in any other state.

We can get your Connecticut Good Standing Certificate immediately after the Connecticut Secretary of State has approved your Articles of Incorporation.

An FEIN is like a Social Security Number for your Connecticut Professional Corporation.  We can get your FEIN on the same day that your Articles of Incorporation are approved by the Connecticut Secretary of State.

You can get your FEIN before your articles are approved by the Connecticut Secretary of State but it's a good idea to wait until after approval.  Your filing may be rejected or the Professional Corporation name that you want may not be approved.  Changing information on an FEIN filing is not a trivial exercise with the IRS.

While you're not required to have a Corporation Kit and Seal for your new Connecticut Corporation they do come in handy.  The CT Corporation Kit consists of a beautiful customized binder, stock certificates, a stock ledger and your custom Corporation Seal.

The Corporation Seal is used to emboss important company documents, such as stock certificates.  The binder also includes dividers so you can use it for all of your Connecticut Corporation record keeping.

Most new Connecticut Professional Corporations are required to get some kind of state, regional or local permits or business licenses.  The task to figure out exactly what you need can be daunting.

We can determine exactly which forms you need to fill out, fill them out for you and file the forms with the appropriate government agency where possible.
