Incorporation

Form your LLC or corporation in any state. Done right, backed by real accountants.

Most formation packages turn around the same week. Unlike a filing mill, Pear stays on for books, tax, and year-one compliance after your entity is approved.

State selector

Search any state, or use the map on larger screens. Every page covers fees, timelines, and first-year compliance.

Entity types

LLC vs S-Corp vs C-Corp vs nonprofit vs sole prop.

Pick the structure that matches liability, tax, and growth plans. We help you decide before you pay a filing fee.

Entity	Taxation	Ideal for	Typical cost	Compliance
LLC	Pass-through by default	Most small and growing operator businesses	Lower to mid state fees	moderate
S-Corp	Pass-through with payroll rules	Profitable owner-operators after eligibility check	Election plus payroll setup	higher
C-Corp	Entity-level corporate tax	Venture-backed and multi-shareholder companies	Mid state fees; more legal paperwork	higher
Nonprofit	Tax-exempt if approved	Mission-driven organizations seeking exemption	State filing plus federal exemption work	higher
Sole proprietorship	Personal return	Very early testing before formal liability needs	Usually local licenses only	lower

Filled circle: stronger protection or higher ongoing work. Outline: moderate. Dash: limited liability protection.

Why Pear

We do not just file your LLC. We run its books after.

Same-week filing

Most packages move in days, with expedite options when your bank or investor needs proof faster.

Registered agent year one

Complete packages include a compliant agent address so official mail never sits unread.

Handoff to books and tax

We do not disappear after Articles are filed. Your formation feeds a real accounting plan.

One point of contact

Talk to a Pear pod, not a call-center script. Formation, books, and tax stay on one team.
