California is a PCF featured state. Because our headquarters is located in San Francisco, we are uniquely positioned to offer much faster turnaround times than our competition. In addition, we offer several corporate filing services that are unique to California (see Additional Services below).
The following PCF services are only offered in California.
Rush filing with the state
Because of our location in California, we can usually get the state to process your order in 1-2 business days. However, during the rush season (December - February), the state is backlogged and can sometimes take weeks to process documents, even with walk-in service. To guarantee a fast turnaround time, you should order rush filing (available through the online order form). This service is available for C-Corporations, S-Corporations, LLC's, and non-profits. See the rush filing info page for more information.
Initial Statement of Information
After your new California company is formed, you have to file an Initial Statement of Information. PCF can prepare and file this document for you. It is available through the online order form when you form a new company with us. See the Initial Statement of Information info page for more information. It is also available as an a la carte service.
Non-Profit 501(c)(3)
When you form as a non-profit, you have the option of obtaining tax exempt status. PCF can help you prepare and file your federal 501(c)(3) form to obtain tax exempt status. See the tax exempt info page for more information. Order now!
California EDD
This is the California equivalent of the FEIN. See the EDD info page for more information. It is available through the online order form when you form a new company with us. It is also available as an a la carte service. To get started, contact us!
California Reseller's Permit
As the name suggests, this is a state-issued permit allowing your company to engage in certain kinds of retail sales. If you plan on selling this in California, you may need this. PCF can prepare this document for you. See the California Resellers Permit info page for more information. To get started, contact us!
City Business License
If you are located or do business in certain cities in California, you may need a City Business License. PCF can prepare this document for you.
