- Agency submission receipt, when a provider is engaged

Scope and price
This is an intake and planning workflow. Provider-backed work requires confirmed coverage, a reviewed quote and explicit authorization before payment or fulfillment.
Service, provider and government fees are separate. Renewals, cancellation and refund terms belong in the reviewed quote.

| Structure | Planning questions |
|---|---|
| Sole proprietorship | A sole proprietorship does not create a separate legal entity. Discuss liability and registrations before choosing. |
| LLC | Confirm the state, ownership, management and governing agreement with your adviser. |
| Corporation | Confirm shares, directors, officers, governance and the required filing documents. |
| S corporation tax election | A tax election is separate from registering a business with a state. Confirm eligibility and filings with a tax adviser. |

Choose a formation state
Choose the structure and state, confirm the proposed name, prepare organizer and address details, review a provider scope, then retain any actual submission and acceptance evidence. Saving a draft is not formation or a name reservation.
