Fixed fee, lawyer-led
Standard incorporation & organization
Digital minute book & review session
The Launch Incorporation Package is Fauri Law’s entry point for new companies. It is designed for founders who want their corporation formed and organized properly from the beginning, with lawyer-led preparation of the incorporation and initial corporate organization documents.
Launch covers the standard legal setup required to bring a new corporation into existence and establish its initial corporate records. It is most appropriate where the company has a simple initial structure, standard founder share issuance, and no immediate need for custom governance, founder vesting, financing documents, or complex share rights.
After Launch, many companies move into the next legal layer: founder governance, restricted equity, commercial documents, hiring infrastructure, financing readiness, or ongoing counsel support.
Preparation and filing of standard Articles of Incorporation for a new corporation, based on the selected jurisdiction and confirmed corporate structure.
Preparation of the initial organizational documents required to establish the corporation’s internal legal framework.
Preparation of standard by-laws and organizational resolutions for the corporation’s initial governance and corporate records.
Documentation of the initial directors and officers of the corporation, based on the information provided during intake.
Standard initial founder share issuance documentation for standard-scope matters. Assumes a simple initial founder structure; does not include vesting, restricted shares, or complex rights.
Setup of the corporation’s digital minute book for the first year so the company’s core records are organized from the beginning.
Initial corporate setup support connected to the incorporation and organization process, including standard organizational filings and records required to complete launch.
A focused call to confirm key incorporation details, initial structure, founder information, director and officer appointments, and standard share issuance instructions.
A delivery or review session after completion to walk through the incorporation package, corporate records, and recommended next legal steps.
Launch is intentionally focused on standard incorporation and initial corporate organization. The following are not included in the Launch fixed fee, but may be appropriate next steps or separately scoped matters.

Launch creates and organizes the corporation. It does not, by itself, create the full founder rulebook, vesting structure, investor-readiness package, or ongoing legal support framework.
Incorporation is usually the first legal step, not the final one. After Launch, the right next path depends on what your company needs next.
| If your next need is… | Recommended path | Why it matters | Next step |

These pathways help founders understand the common legal sequence after incorporation. They are not bundles and do not replace intake or scope review.
For founders who need to incorporate and then establish the legal relationship between founders. Launch creates the corporation. The Startup Kit creates founder share documentation, a standard founders shareholders agreement, founder IP assignment, and related approvals.
For companies that need incorporation, founder governance, and restricted equity or vesting infrastructure — especially where founders, early hires, advisors, or contributors will receive equity tied to continued service, contribution, or vesting terms.
For companies preparing to launch publicly, onboard customers, or begin commercial activity. Connects incorporation with the operating documents companies often need next: website terms, privacy policy, basic tracking disclosures, NDAs, and standard service terms.
For companies that want more than one-time incorporation and need structured legal support over time. Ongoing Counsel Support is configured after intake — it may include approved workflow kits and annual counsel hours, but it is not unlimited legal support and does not include transactions, negotiations, securities filings, disputes, tax, or cross-border work unless separately scoped.
Launch Incorporation Package — standard-scope incorporation and initial corporate organization.
Separately scoped matters include complex governance, custom share rights, founder vesting, restricted shares, shareholders agreements, tax planning, securities matters, financing documents, professional corporation structuring, non-resident or cross-border issues, and ongoing counsel support.
You complete a short intake with information about the proposed corporation, founders, directors, officers, share structure, and business.
Fauri Law reviews the intake, confirms whether the matter fits standard Launch scope, and completes the required conflict check.
If the matter is accepted, Fauri Law provides an engagement letter confirming scope, fees, assumptions, exclusions, and next steps.
Payment and applicable filing fees are handled after the engagement letter is accepted.
Fauri Law prepares and files the incorporation, prepares the initial organization documents, and sets up the corporate records.
You receive the completed launch package and attend a delivery/review session to understand the corporate records and recommended next steps.
After delivery, Fauri Law can help identify whether your next step is founder governance, equity structuring, website/privacy documents, commercial contracts, hiring documents, funding readiness, ongoing counsel support, or bespoke advisory work.
No. Launch is a one-time incorporation and initial organization package. It is not an annual plan, subscription, or ongoing counsel arrangement.
If you need recurring legal support after incorporation, you may consider Ongoing Counsel Support after intake.
Yes, but a shareholders agreement is not included in Launch.
If you need founder governance, ownership rules, transfer restrictions, founder IP alignment, and decision-making terms, the usual next step is the Startup Kit. If the shareholders agreement is complex or negotiated, it may require bespoke advisory scope.
Not every company needs the Startup Kit immediately, but many multi-founder companies should consider it.
Launch creates and organizes the corporation. The Startup Kit helps define the founder relationship, founder ownership, governance rights, IP ownership, and the rules for how the company is controlled and operated between founders. If there is more than one founder, the Startup Kit is often the logical next step after Launch.
No. Launch does not include founder vesting, restricted shares, repurchase rights, leaver provisions, or vesting-based equity arrangements.
If equity should be earned over time or tied to continued contribution, the appropriate next step is the Equity Structuring Kit or a custom equity structuring review.
No. Launch does not include tax advice, accounting advice, valuation advice, tax elections, rollover planning, or tax-driven structuring.
You should obtain tax and accounting advice where required. If legal coordination with tax or accounting advisors is needed, that can be separately scoped.
Sometimes. If you already incorporated but did not complete proper corporate organization, share issuance, director/officer appointments, or minute book setup, Fauri Law may be able to assist. However, this may become a corporate cleanup matter rather than a standard Launch incorporation.
Existing corporation reviews are assessed through intake and may require separate scope.
Yes, if appropriate, but multiple share classes are not included in the base Launch fee. A Multi-Class Share Structure Add-on is available for standard multi-class structures. More complex share rights, investor rights, preferred shares, tax-sensitive structures, or custom governance rights require separate scope.
After Launch is delivered, you will have the corporation and initial organization documents in place. The next legal step depends on your company’s needs. Common next steps include:
Start with the Launch Incorporation Package. We will review your intake, confirm whether the matter fits standard scope, and provide the appropriate engagement path.
