How an Arts & Crafts Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft an S Corp Formation in Oregon

In 2025, a business in Oregon sought assistance with forming an S Corporation to establish its two existing entities as separate businesses, each with its own tax filings. The client already had an LLC and an EIN number but wanted to reduce personal liability by preventing the income from showing up under their and their spouse's Social Security numbers. The goal was to create a more structured and independent business framework that could better serve their operations in the arts and crafts sector. As a result, the client received five proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $50 to $700, all submitted to complete the necessary documentation within the requested deadline of one week.
