Entity Creation Form
This name must match what is on your social security card or official immigration paperwork
I understand that if I want to operate this entity under any other name than the exact one above, I will be personally responsible for filing for a fictitious name. This will require a trip to the county recorder and publication. There will be additional fees attached to this.
I understand that I will need to get business licenses along with other local permits. I understand I will have to do this myself. In 95% or more of jurisdictions, this is a five minute process.
I understand that I will need to file a Beneficial Ownership Report with FinCEN within 30 days of opening the entity. I understand that I can do this myself or engage Homer Ambrose to help with this. This takes under 5 minutes per entity.

My default name for trusts is your name family trust. If your name was Smith, it would be The John Smith Family Trust. Is that ok?
If one person owns the corporation, that person will hold all three roles. This is purely ceremonial.
If two people own the corporation, I recommend one person be CEO and the other be CFO and Secretary.
