ME Starting a Business

Help with various aspects of starting and running a business, such as business registration, trade name registration and applications, business plan help, business structures, financing, etc.

Many people that start companies in Maine choose to form a Maine LLC.

Another option is to incorporate in Maine  by starting a Maine corporation, which you can elect to turn into a Maine S corporation.

Either way, we recommend Northwest Registered Agent, LLC for business startups because of their quick sign up form and quick service.
