From zero

Start the shop the right way.

A name on a truck is not a company. Parish AI walks the whole opening: the plan, the LLC, the federal and state numbers, the local license, the domain, the email, the website, and the Google listing. You sign. We do the running around.

One operator

You do not get a binder and a list of websites. You get an operator who files, follows, and tells you when it is your turn to sign.

The filings, not the runaround

Secretary of State, tax accounts, the local occupational license. We handle the stack so you can sign.

Open looking like a shop

The day the charter comes back, the email, the site, and the Google listing should already match the paperwork.

The entity

Name search

We clear the name on the Secretary of State record before anyone prints a sign.

Form the LLC

Articles of Organization, filed with the Secretary of State. You sign. State fees billed at cost.

Operating agreement

A working agreement that matches how the shop will actually be owned — not a blank you never open again.

Trade name

If the name on the door is not the legal name, we register that too.

The numbers

Federal EIN

IRS employer identification number, applied for correctly so the bank and the state will take it.

State tax accounts

Department of Revenue setup for the accounts the shop actually needs — sales and use, withholding when it applies.

Occupational license

City and county occupational license assistance. We find the counter and the form.

Employer path

When you hire: state unemployment, withholding, and a workers’ compensation checklist. Not before you need it.

The face of the shop

Domain and email

A domain that matches the shop, and email that does not say gmail on the way out the door.

Website

A site that tells a stranger what you do, where you are, and how to reach you — built to be found, not decorated.

Google Business Profile

The listing that puts you on the map: hours, photos, categories, the phone that should ring.

One address, one phone

Name, address, and phone match on the site, the listing, and the paperwork. Towns notice when they don’t.

Ready to operate

Custom business plan

A plan for this shop in this market — what you sell, who pays, what it costs to open — written so a lender or a partner can read it.

Bank-ready packet

Articles, EIN letter, operating agreement, and IDs in one folder so the banker is not sending you home.

Compliance calendar

Annual report, license renewals, and the dates that keep the entity in good standing.

Records from day one

Where the minutes, the licenses, and the receipts live. The shop starts with a file, not a glove box.

Also in the opening

The rest of what it takes to open.

  • Registered office and agent paperwork so the state has a real address
  • A formation packet the bank will take: charter, EIN letter, agreement, IDs
  • Sales-tax and local-rate notes when the shop will collect
  • Industry board map — contractor, food, salon, and the rest — so you know which license is actually required
  • General-liability and workers’ compensation checklist. We do not sell insurance. We tell you what to ask for.
  • Professional email signatures, a simple letterhead, and the lockup on the door file
  • Social profiles that match the legal name and the listing
  • A first-year calendar: annual report, occupational license renewal, domain, and listings
  • A shared folder for minutes, licenses, and receipts from day one
  • When the doors are open: the same Parish AI systems for marketing, leads, and follow-up

How it runs

  1. 1

    15 minutes

    What you are opening, where, and whether an LLC is the right box. If it is not, we say so.

  2. 2

    The filings

    Name, articles, EIN, state accounts, local license. You review and sign. Government fees pass through at cost.

  3. 3

    The public face

    Domain, email, site, Google listing — live under the same name that is on the charter.

What this is not

Parish AI is not a law firm and not a CPA firm. We prepare formation and licensing paperwork for your signature, and we stand up the digital shop. We do not give legal opinions, tax elections, or attest services. If the facts call for an attorney or a CPA, we tell you that before anyone files.

State, local, and federal filing fees are billed at cost. You own the entity, the accounts, and the domain.

Open it once. Open it clean.
