Our Subscription Plan Offers Freedom to Cancel, Clear Services, and Transparent Pricing!
Our subscription plan is designed to be flexible and convenient for our clients. The subscription will automatically renew unless canceled.
Yes, you can cancel your subscription at any time after the minimum term requirement. We believe in providing our clients with the freedom to choose. You can manage your subscription through the client portal or email us at legal@carbonlg.com and we will take care of cancelling the subscription. The subscription will cancel at the end of the monthly billing period and not be renewed.
Our subscription plans offer a range of valuable services tailored to meet your business’s legal needs. Please refer to the table above.
More levels and features may be added in the future.
Contacting our legal team is simple. You can reach us by phone or text at (323) 918-5802 during business hours. Alternatively, you can email us at legal@carbonlg.com. We are committed to providing prompt and responsive assistance to our subscribed clients.
We are currently building out a portal through which you can reach us. In the meantime, you will have access to the Subscription portal where you can manage your subscription.
The Carbon Connect plan is designed for early stage to emerging growth companies. Everyone from the budding entrepreneur to a seasoned business person can get value. For more complex needs, reach out to us and we can create a customized plan for your business.
We believe in transparency and strive to provide clear pricing. Our subscription plans come with straightforward pricing structures, and there are no hidden fees. The pricing information will be clearly presented, allowing you to select the plan that best suits your budget and requirements.
But please remember, our subscription plans are built to encourage open communication with your legal team. They are not built to handle every project. Complex matters will require a separate engagement or fee.
When you sign up, we will schedule a 30-minute discovery call to better understand your needs and also make sure you are addressing hidden legal issues that put many business owners at risk.
There are a few factors to consider when deciding if a subscription legal plan is right for you. First, you need to think about how often you need legal help. If you only need legal help once in a blue moon, then a subscription legal plan may not be worth it. However, if you need legal help on a regular basis, then a subscription legal plan can save you money in the long run.
Some of the benefits of a subscription legal service include:
- Peace of mind: Knowing that you have access to legal help when you need it can give you peace of mind.
- Cost savings: Subscription legal plans can save you money in the long run, especially if you need legal help on a regular basis.
- Convenience: Subscription legal plans make it easy to get legal help. You can usually reach an attorney by phone or email, and you can often get help quickly.
Consider whether an on-going relationship with a law firm would be of value to you. However, our subscription plan may not be ideal for established businesses looking for more dedicated support.
There will be an additional charge of between $650.00 and $950.00 for each additional owner of a company depending on the complexity of the agreements needed.

Typically, entrepreneurs get to choose among C Corporations, S Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies (LLC), and Sole Proprietorships. While C Corporations are subjected to two levels of taxations and have to comply with a little more formalities, there are a number of benefits they provide such as ease of share transferability, limited liability and investor preference… etc. On the other hand, S Corporations, Partnerships, LLCs and Sole Proprietorships are “flow-through” entities that pass business income on to the owners or investors of the business and thus are only subjected to one level of taxation. Often, the decision of entity choices is driven with other considerations beyond tax. Schedule an appointment with Carbon Law Group today for us to offer you deeper insight into the advantages and disadvantages of each entity type.
There is a misconception that you would incorporate in Nevada or Wyoming even if you don’t have any connection to those states. There is no real benefit to incorporating in those states unless you can establish your business operations there and you are going to be taxed in those states. Instead, technology startups often choose Delaware because it is attractive to Venture Capital and Private Equity firms due to its comprehensive corporate laws. If you are not looking to raise capital from a VC or PE firm, then you should consider incorporating in the state where your main business operations will be located.
Depending on the nature of the business, you may need the following permits, licenses, or regulations:
- If you are doing a regulated business such as aviation, agriculture, alcohol, etc., you will need an industry specific permit.
- Sales tax license or permit
- Home-based business permits
- City and county business permits or licenses
- Zoning permit
- Seller’s permit
- Health department permits (e.g., for restaurants)
- Federal and State tax/employer IDs
The bylaws of a corporation represent the internal governance guidelines and rules of the organization. Bylaws spell out the rules of how the business will operate and provide guidance for the corporation’s shareholders, executives, and employees on how to run the company smoothly. While corporate bylaws are specific to an S-Corp or C-Corp, an Operating Agreement serves a similar purpose for LLC’s.
