Let's Get It Started Package

• Month 1: $750 (covers preparation of formation documents, guidance as to the appropriate entity choice for your situation and assistance in obtaining an EIN (federal tax id) for the entity). Cost includes the Minnesota state filing fee of $145, and the legal time to prepare and file the documents. (This standard rate is for single member entities. Entities with more than one owner will be charged regular hourly rates if the preparation time for their documents exceeds 2 hours.)

• Months 2-12: businesses will fall into one of two categories - low volume monthly (approximately three or fewer hours per month - $399 per month) or high volume monthly (approximately six or fewer hours per month - $599 per month). Worried you won't use all of the hours? No problem - hours can be rolled over from month to month, and you'll receive a follow-up call every month to discuss all business related items.

• Trademark Add-On: any time in months 3-12 of the first year an owner can pay a one-time fee of $700 for a federal trademark registration (this price includes the $275 filing fee for one class of goods or services). Often the business name and goodwill associated with it is an owner's greatest asset, and this plan aims to protect that asset from the very beginning.
