About us

We're a small New York team that does one thing well: forming businesses the right way. If you've seen our work on nypllc.com (our sister brand for licensed professionals), this is the same crew—same no-nonsense approach, now helping New York nonprofits. Rated 4.9/5 on Trustpilot for our nypllc.com work.

We built nypllc.com for licensed professionals and kept seeing the same pain from nonprofit founders: the multi-agency maze, surprise costs, and radio silence. So we built this. What you can expect: clear pricing, clear timelines, and clear communication. The flat fee is $1099 and it includes everything you need—NY Articles of Incorporation with IRS-compliant clauses, EIN, Form 1023-EZ filing, organizational bylaws, conflict of interest policy, board resolution, IRS determination letter delivery, and NY AG registration guidance.

New York has extra complexity—AG registration, potential publication—that national services skip or get wrong. We know NY's rules and identify issues early. You won't need to chase anyone or guess what's happening—we'll keep you posted at each milestone.

We're real people in New York, not a faceless call center. If you'd rather speak with someone before you pay, contact us—we'll walk you through it.

We are not a law firm and do not provide legal or tax advice.
