NC Starting a Business

Help with various aspects of starting and running a business, such as business registration, trade name registration and applications, business plan help, business structures, financing, etc.

Many people that start companies in North Carolina choose to form a North Carolina LLC.

Another option is to incorporate in North Carolina  by starting a North Carolina corporation, which you can elect to turn into a North Carolina S corporation.

Either way, we recommend Northwest Registered Agent, LLC for business startups because of their quick sign up form and quick service.
