CorpNet maintains the highest levels of Errors and Omissions insurance whereby you and your clients are protected in the event CorpNet makes an error or omission subject to the terms and conditions stated in our Partnership Terms of Use published on our website. Our team prides itself on continuously providing our clients with clear, transparent, open, and accurate information when it comes to the business formation filings and compliance process.

CorpNet is a document filing services and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice. The company was founded by an attorney husband and wife team who’ve been coined as the “pioneers of the legal document filing industry”, having been in the industry for over 25 years. Although the company does not offer legal advisory services, we work with a team of attorneys, in every state, who routinely review all our forms and filings for clarity, transparency and accuracy in all 50 states.

It is NOT considered the practice of law to advise your clients on which entity to structure their businesses under for the best tax implications; in fact, an Accountant, CPA, or financial advisor is in the best position to advise their client as to which entity structure their client should form or in which state to form it within that will give them the best tax consequences. This being said, if you are still uncomfortable with providing advisory services to your clients in the area of entity formations, we have our business structure wizard tool that can act as your online legal wizard and do the work for you by providing your client with the recommended entity type for their business after they have answered a series of questions to the wizard.

Lawyers are not required to file these documents, and in many situations not necessary, so your clients will greatly appreciate you saving them a significant amount of time and money by recommending them to use our services instead. We can get it done quicker because we’re the experts; it will be a seamless process which will save your clients tons of money in attorney’s fees and lots of time because we do it much faster than any attorney’s office; that’s why attorneys use us for all their own business filings!

Yes, you can certainly do it on your own! However, you also run a very likely risk of your filings getting rejected for inaccurate information. For example, the filing may be rejected if your client fails to check the name before submitting the filing to the state, which will add unnecessary fees and time. Instead, we can take care of everything for you to make sure it’s done right the first time.

Also, by choosing to work with CorpNet, we aren’t just filing your clients’ organizational documents with the Secretary of State’s office; our services are turnkey whereby it will include all of the necessary documentation required to open up a bank account and run and maintain the business, including operating agreements and bylaws, acting as the registered agent for the corporation or LLC, and Obtaining their Federal Tax ID (EIN) just to name a few.

Yes. Based on our experience in this space, we MUST validate, verify, and supplement certain client-entered information. Our team currently validates certain key information such as entity type, filing state, date of formation, state, and date of foreign qualifications, and more.

We DO NOT require a POA for our business formation, annual compliance or state Tax Registration filing submissions as we submit the applications on behalf of the client with their credentials as a scrivener. If we submit applications as a “third party” the client is often required to go through a handoff process which creates additional roadblocks in the client experience.

We offer all business filing services in all 50 states plus the District of Columbia and filings in all 3,007 counties in the United States.

We offer reseller and referral services for all our business entity filings, state tax registration filings, and compliance services. Thus, giving Accountants the tools, they need to offer Business Filing Services to their clients as a CorpNet Reseller whereby CorpNet acts as their Silent Fulfillment Partner.

CorpNet does not offer accounting services to its clients because we don’t want to compete with the accountants in our network or our payroll partners. Our promise to our partners is that your client information is SAFE! CorpNet will never sell your information or your client information to third parties for purposes of marketing.
