CALIFORNIA SECRETARY OF STATE BUSINESS FORMATIONS AND FILINGS

Legalese Attorney Service, LLC, files business documents with California Secretary of State for Corporations, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP), Limited Partnerships (LP) and General Partnerships (GP). Legalese Attorney Service, LLC also researches and files with the Uniform Commercial Code Division.  

The formation of business entities of different forms such as, Corporations, (Inc.) Limited Partnerships (LP), and Limited Liability Corporation (LLC), General Partnerships (GP), are fundamental to businesses for tax, liability and longevity reasons. Attorneys, accountants and those in other professions need to form, modify, and dissolve legal entities as a matter of business. As businesses grow or change, it is sometimes desirable to modify the structure to maintain appropriate status in interfacing with the pertinent market. Also, frequently, as businesses branch out, they are wise to form subsidiary entities that directly address the markets they serve.

Legalese has been assisting attorneys and CPA’s for over 40 years. We have loyal long-standing clients who have relied on and trusted in our services for decades. Their continued patronage and loyalty are proof – Legalese makes the difference.

Change and growth are constant in any industry. As many courts have gone to online filing the California Secretary of State has also moved to online services.
