Quick Questions

You get personal guidance and expert review at every step, starting with a 45-minute kickoff call. Your documents are reviewed before submission, dramatically reducing rejection risk.

It depends on your specific situation. Your availability and the state where you are located will both affect the timeline. In the base case you can have everything filed within a week and IRS approval a few weeks after that, completing the process within 30 days. IRS approval can be the wildcard, ranging anywhere from 2-8 weeks. That said, once you've submitted your IRS application, you can get started on your mission, no need to sit on your hands waiting for approval.

We work with you to fix the issues and resubmit at no additional cost. If we can't get you approved (very rare), you get 100% of your money back.

We offer the same service for Standard Form 1023 at $899. See details here or check which form you need.
