Entities are formed at the state level, and every state has some statute that allows for the creation of an entity. We are experts in forming entities in all states of the US.

Nonprofit corporations are formed under state law, and as a result are subject to state rules and regulations after their formation. Requirements may include the election of a board of directors, and the drafting of corporate bylaws. In addition, compliance with several internal formalities is typically required, such as holding meetings and recording minutes etc
