The Ascent

Formationfree

The Pro plan.

Pro is presence and compliance handled for you: a real business address to register the company, the federal business Income Tax return filed in season, an ITIN for foreign founders or a state filing for US ones, and a tax consultation to plan the year with. The formation, agent, and Annual Report ride along from Starter.

For companies that operate: selling, invoicing, and building a real US presence.

Inside the plan

Everything Pro carries, and why.

Company structure

Company formation (LLC or Corporation)

New companies · in the setup

Filing with the state is what makes your company legally exist. It separates your personal assets from the business and lets you operate, invoice, and sign under the company's name. The included state filing covers our work on it. The state's own fee for that filing is charged separately, at cost.

EIN (federal tax ID)

New companies · in the setup

The nine-digit number the IRS issues to your company. Without it there is no US business bank account, no payroll, and no tax filing.

Operating Agreement (or Bylaws for a Corporation)

New companies · in the setup

The internal document that says who owns what and who decides. Banks ask for it at account opening, and it settles member questions before they become disputes.

Agent transfer and records migration

Existing companies · in the switch

We move your registered agent and state records over to Summit and pick up your compliance clock from day one. Your company keeps operating; only the paperwork changes hands. The included state filing covers our work on it. The state's own fee for that filing is charged separately, at cost.

Registered agent

Included

Every state requires one: a person at a physical in-state address to receive lawsuits and official mail during business hours. If a notice goes unanswered, you can fall out of good standing without ever knowing.

Business address to register your company

Included

A real US street address that is not your home. It goes on your filings and bank paperwork as the company's registered address.

Compliance and support

Compliance calendar with deadline alerts

Included

Every state runs its own clock: annual reports, renewals, agent continuity. We track the dates and flag each one before it is due, so nothing lapses quietly.

Annual Report, filed for you

Included

The yearly filing that keeps your company in good standing with the state. Filed late it turns into penalties; ignored long enough, into administrative dissolution. The included state filing covers our work on it. The state's own fee for that filing is charged separately, at cost.

Notarization for the address (Flex Space)

1 included

Activating a business address requires a notarized authorization (USPS Form 1583). The session is covered, so the address goes live without a trip to a notary.

ITIN or a state filing

1 included

Foreign founders get an ITIN, the IRS taxpayer number that lets them file US taxes and unlocks banking tools. US founders trade it for one state filing: a DBA, an amendment, or a Good Standing certificate, whichever the business needs. The included state filing covers our work on it. The state's own fee for that filing is charged separately, at cost.

Tax and bookkeeping

Business Income Tax filing

Included

Your company's federal return (1120 for Corporations, 1065 with K-1s for multi-member LLCs), prepared and filed by our team when the season comes, included while your plan is active. Owners' personal returns, the 1040NR (or 1040 for US residents), are $199 each.

Tax consultation

1 / yr

A session with our tax team to plan decisions before you make them, not explain them after.

The tax return included is for the year you are on the plan. Earlier years are quoted separately.
