Why
fast and inexpensive service?
-
Several
of our clients, initially, were somewhat skeptical that we could
provide quality service in a few days and at such a “low fee”.
A few had paid firms $500 just for incorporating their
nonprofit.
Others were quoted fees ranging from $2,500 to $5,000 for
incorporation and tax-exemption application assistance (and did
not include resource information!).
-
Our total fees are based on our costs, not the popular market
rate for such services.
We can complete the paperwork in three to four days.
Any one familiar with how to do this work should be able to
complete the paperwork in about the same amount of time.
-
Our feeling is that the cost of these services should not be
prohibitive.
Furthermore, we strongly believe new nonprofit
organizations should not have to struggle with the burden of
learning how to complete the paperwork to become a charitable
tax-exempt community service.
-
Our hope is that you will be pleased with our work and will
return to seek our help with other tasks, e.g. coaching, strategic planning,
fundraising.
