Why Should I form a Corporation or LLC?
Distribution Services of America, Inc. (DSA) has an extended accounting and legal staff employed specifically to assist small businesses with every service required to successfully start up a small business corporation or LLC and to maintain proper records and tax planning & compliance. First let us answer some FAQ’s:
What type of business should I form?
A corporation is a legal entity, chartered by the state government, and separate and distinct from the person(s) who own it. It is regarded by the courts as an artificial person; it may own property, incur debts, sue or be sued. DSA will also file your election to become a S corporation, which has a special tax status and therefore has some tax advantages.
An LLC is generally easier to operate and has less formalities than a corporation. However, corporations have more flexibility in paying owners in the form of salaries and wages or as distributions to shareholders. You may also be able to have the best of both worlds and have your LLC elect to be treated as an S Corporation.
How do I create a corporation or LLC?
Pick a business name, select what type of business you would like to form and submit your application. We will prepare all state filings, expedite the process and have your business formed in a matter of days.
How do I pick a name for my Business?
Almost any name that is not – obscene, could be confused with your Suppliers names or trade names, or is the same or similar to one already filed in your state – will be accepted. For example, many people pick their initials or their own name, or even a funny name – the more unique the better. See the application for more information.

Update December 2024: Please note the BOIR requirements have been affected by a recent federal court order. The Department of the Treasury is appealing that order. In the meantime, reporting companies are not currently required to file a BOIR and are not subject to liability if they fail to do so while the applicable order remains in force, but at this time filing is optional.
New Law effective January 1, 2024 – The Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)
requires most U.S. entities to report beneficial ownership information (BOI)
to the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
For entities formed on or after January 1, 2024, the report must be filed within 90 days of the entity’s formation date on its Certificate of Formation.
For entities formed prior to January 1, 2024, the BOI report must be filed before January 1, 2025.
DSA can file the Beneficial Ownership Information Report (BOIR) on your behalf if you select the option when completing the Business Formation Incorporation Application for an additional fee of $30. Please note that we will need a copy of your state issued driver’s license, state/local/tribe issued ID, US passport or foreign passport (the foreign passport is only acceptable if the individual does not have one of the other ID’s). An image of the ID must be uploaded in JPG/JPEG, PNG or PDF format
Further information regarding the BOI reporting may be found on FinCEN’s website https://www.fincen.gov/boi
