Startup Package · One-Time

    Your legal foundation. Done once. Done right.

    Entity formation, governance documents, EIN, and a working session with an attorney — handled end-to-end for a one-time $699. Attorney drafting alone typically runs $395/hour.

    Takes about 2 minutes: create your secure client account, then checkout.

    Handled by the founding attorneys, never handed off.

    Your formation is done by the same two attorneys behind every ELS matter.

    We cap our roster so your attorney is never stretched too thin.

    What’s Included

    • Business name assessment, search, and registration

      Cleared and registered properly the first time.

    • Entity selection guidance and formation

      The LLC-vs-corp decision made with counsel, not a dropdown menu.

    • Operating Agreement and initial governance documents

      The documents disputes are won or lost on — not a template you hope holds up.

    • EIN registration

      Handled — you never touch an IRS form.

    • 20-minute strategy session and risk assessment

      A working session with your attorney, not a sales call.

    Who it’s for

    Built for the moment before contracts, hiring, and licensing arrive — when the foundation either gets set correctly or quietly creates exposure for years.

    This is for you

    Pre-revenue founders.

    First-time operators.

    Professionals opening their own practice.

    — who want their entity formed by an attorney rather than a form-filler.

    When Membership fits better

    If you already have employees, vendor agreements, or active disputes, Membership is the better fit.
