• Guru Entity Formation Service

    Learn how Guru Business Center prepares returns and follow the steps to share your information and documents.

  • What Is Entity Formation?

    Entity formation is the process of legally establishing a business with the appropriate state or jurisdiction. Depending on your situation, this may involve forming an LLC, corporation, nonprofit corporation, or registering a DBA/assumed name.

    Guru helps clients navigate the formation process and prepare and submit the applicable formation filings.

  • Why It Matters

    Choosing and properly establishing your business structure creates the legal foundation for your business. Proper formation can help establish your business as a separate legal entity where applicable and allows you to move forward with other business needs such as obtaining an EIN, opening business accounts, and maintaining required registrations.

  • The Benefit to You

    You don't have to figure out the formation process by yourself. Guru helps organize the information, prepares the applicable filing, coordinates the formation process, and keeps you informed about the status of your service.
