The Grand Opening — Kiki, Chief Welcoming Officer — startup and business setup in Tucson and Arizona

What this service solves

Startup setup prevents the wrong entity, the wrong chart of accounts, and unknown compliance from becoming recurring costs. The first ninety days quietly shape your taxes, financing, bookkeeping, growth, and even a future sale. Not sure which kind of help you need yet? Our guide on bookkeeper, accountant, or CFO sorts out the three roles in plain English.

How R.E.Q.M. does it better

We treat setup as the first chapter of a long relationship. Entity choice, registrations, chart of accounts, payroll, and software are all matched to the business you’re actually building.

What’s included

  • LLC formation and S-Corp election support
  • EIN and Arizona TPT registration
  • City licensing and permits
  • Payroll-system and accounting-software setup
  • Chart-of-accounts design
  • First-month close support

Local trust

As the startup setup Tucson founders turn to for LLC formation Arizona filings, we handle Corporation Commission filings, Department of Revenue registrations, City of Tucson licensing, Pima County compliance, and multi-state launch considerations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I form an LLC or an S-Corp?

It depends on income, payroll plans, and how you’ll take money out — and getting it wrong is expensive to unwind. We model your situation, recommend the structure that fits the business you’re actually building, and then handle the filing.

What do I legally need to start a business in Arizona?

Generally: entity formation with the Arizona Corporation Commission, an EIN, Arizona TPT registration, and the right city and county licensing. We set up all of it — plus your chart of accounts and payroll — so day one is actually clean.

How much does it cost to set up a business?

It varies with entity type, state and city fees, and how much of the setup you want handled for you. We quote transparently up front, including the third-party filing fees, so there’s no mystery math.

Can you help before I’ve officially started?

That’s the best time. The first ninety days quietly shape your taxes, financing, and books for years. Even at the vague-idea stage, a conversation now prevents expensive do-overs later.

What happens after my business is set up?

Kiki, our Chief Welcoming Officer, hands you a business that’s ready to operate — and you choose what’s next. Many founders move straight into monthly accounting or a fractional CFO engagement so the foundation keeps paying off.
