The package
In your first year, you get every service in the annual package. From year two, everything continues with the annual package. Your corporation is in good order from day one and stays that way.
We file your formation with the New York Department of State and prepare the document set for your route. We pass the state fee on with no markup.
We submit your Mercury application with you as soon as your documents and EIN are in. You also get euro account details with your own IBAN through Wise and, if you come to Austin, a personal introduction at a traditional US bank.
We apply for your Employer Identification Number (EIN) with the IRS. And we file the mandatory BE-13 report with the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the filing many founders have never heard of.
New York doesn't require a Registered Agent: the Secretary of State accepts service of process and forwards it to the address your company provides. We list our Austin address there. Your mail reaches you by email, and if a letter comes with a deadline, we tell you what to do.
Our Austin address goes on your letterhead and invoices, plus a US phone number with call answering.
Shareholder and board meetings, resolutions and minutes, registers, filings with New York and a calendar with every deadline. You sign, we handle the rest.
The six points in detailContract templates under US law for your corporation's day-to-day business. From your first customer contract to your first investor.
You ask, we answer, as often as you like. The only exceptions are custom documents drafted by the attorneys on the firm's team, and bookkeeping.
Included every year
With free consultations.
Two paths, clear prices
It determines which documents your corporation needs from day one. Everything else is the same on both routes: formation, Registered Agent, accounts, annual compliance and our support in English.
On top of the corporation's document set come the documents for your parent company.
plus New York franchise tax, at least $25, and a $9 Biennial Statement every two years
Choose this pathOn your own or with co-founders. The corporation belongs to you directly.
plus New York franchise tax, at least $25, and a $9 Biennial Statement every two years
Choose this pathEvery two years your corporation files the Biennial Statement ($9), first in its formation month two years after formation, and every year it pays New York franchise tax of at least $25. Bookkeeping is only added if you book it: from $250 a month, starting when you begin trading.

How it works
Everything runs remotely. The timings below reflect our experience, not guarantees.
Pick your path and extras on the order card. You see the total right away.
We file with the Department of State and prepare your document set.
Without a US Social Security number, we apply for the EIN by fax. The IRS quotes about four business days.
We file the mandatory report with the Bureau of Economic Analysis on time.
With your formation documents and IRS letter (CP575 or 147C), we submit the application together with you. Mercury decides after its own review.
According to Mercury, no visit to the US is required. You only travel to Austin if you want an introduction to a traditional US bank. That is optional.
Accounts and credit history
Credit for your company and for you. The strongest business cards also check your personal credit history, so we build both.
Annual compliance
A New York corporation has obligations, year after year. We take on these six: in the formation package from day one, and after that with the annual package.
We set the date and prepare the agenda and resolutions: at the shareholder meeting, electing the directors and acknowledging the annual financial statements; at the board of directors, appointing the officers and ratifying the company's business. In writing or by video: we write the minutes and collect signatures electronically.
We keep your corporation's resolutions and minutes, the stock ledger and the list of directors and officers. Digital and always up to date.
Every two years, in the month of formation, the Biennial Statement goes to the Department of State, with a $9 fee. Every corporation formed in New York is subject to New York franchise tax, even with no business there: at least $25 on New York receipts up to $100,000, reduced in the first short year. The return for it is part of the tax work, not the annual package.
The address for service through the Secretary of State remains our Austin address. Your mail reaches you by email, and we flag the deadlines.
Every deadline with New York, the IRS and the Bureau of Economic Analysis is in your calendar, and we remind you in good time. Since March 2025, companies formed in the US no longer report to FinCEN, confirmed by a final rule dated August 11, 2026. If the requirement returns, we handle it at no extra charge.
Unlimited support in English. Need a resolution for a new account, a contract or a loan? We prepare it, within the usual scope and at no extra charge. Custom documents drafted by the attorneys on the firm's team: $450 per matter.
Resolutions and minutes
When you want to work with a regulated supplier, take out a loan or sell your company, the first thing the other side asks for is your company's resolutions and minutes (the minute book). They show who owns the company, who runs it, who can sign and what was decided when.
If they are missing, they cannot be cleanly recreated after the fact. That is why we keep them from day one. When the moment comes, you just send a link.
BE-13
If a foreign person directly or indirectly holds at least ten percent of the voting rights, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis requires the BE-13 filing (15 CFR 801.7), even if it never contacts you. The deadline: 45 calendar days from formation.
We file it with every formation, as a short Claim for Exemption where total costs are up to $40 million. Above that, the full form applies, quoted individually.
Template library
Every template in English, from your first customer contract to your first investor. The bylaws, resolutions and minutes of your corporation are already part of the package.
Once you've paid, sign in at mtbonnell.com/vorlagen with the email address you ordered with. No password needed: we send you a code by email. The templates are tailored to your corporation: the contracting party is a corporation, with shareholders, a Board of Directors and Officers. They are no substitute for advice on your specific case: where it really matters, the attorneys on the firm's team draft the document.
Why New York
After California and Texas, New York is the third-largest state economy. Form there and you get a few quirks: no Registered Agent requirement, and a report only every two years.
Instead of an annual report, your company files the Biennial Statement with the Department of State every two years, in the month it was formed.
Every corporation formed in New York pays New York franchise tax, even with no business there: at least $25 on New York receipts up to $100,000.
The Department of State's formation fee. It doesn't depend on the number of shares. We pass it on with no markup and show it separately.
