From idea to incorporated

No. Nimble & Cross completely manages the formation. We handle the entity structuring, draft the formation documents, and execute the filings. Our internal legal and finance teams oversee the process, ensuring your structure is optimized for your specific cross-border or fundraising needs without the traditional hourly legal fees.

Within 24 hours, we clear the name, secure the domain, provision your digital infrastructure, and submit the entity filings to the state or provincial registry. While final state processing times vary by jurisdiction (Delaware versus Corporations Canada, for example), your operational foundation is locked in, and our system tracks the registry until your certificate is issued.

Yes. Once the entity is legally formed and the EIN/Tax ID is issued, the system seamlessly transitions to our banking infrastructure. We provision multi-currency accounts and corporate cards for your new entity without requiring you to visit a branch or manage separate banking applications.

Extremely thorough. Before any filings occur, we execute comprehensive clearance, including Canadian NUANS searches, federal and state trademark databases, and common-law usage checks. If a conflict arises, we manage the entire re-clearing and refiling process. Your brand is secured before you start building equity in it.

Yes, once you cross a jurisdiction’s "doing business" threshold (like hiring an employee). You don’t have to track this. Our system continuously monitors your footprint, headcount, office locations, and revenue, and automatically executes the required foreign qualifications in those new jurisdictions before you fall out of compliance.

Yes. Missing the 30-day window for an 83(b) election is a catastrophic error that taxes future equity gains as ordinary income. We do not let this happen. The election is generated, filed via certified mail, and tracked automatically at the exact moment your shares are issued.

Eligibility is locked in at issuance based on strict criteria, such as the $50 million gross assets test. We structure your initial formation to ensure QSBS eligibility from Day 1. Moving forward, we monitor your cap table and flag any financing events that would push you over the threshold, protecting your tax exclusion before a round closes.

If your engineering team and IP development are in Canada, a Canadian operating company is essential to claim SR&ED tax credits. However, US investors expect a Delaware entity. We structure the exact dual-entity setup required: a Delaware HoldCo for investors, a Canadian OpCo for SR&ED, and the defensible intercompany IP licensing agreements to connect them seamlessly.

Yes. We routinely absorb and restructure entities that have outgrown their initial setup. We run a full compliance audit on your existing cap table, IP assignments, and tax elections, execute the necessary cleanup, and migrate your standing entity into our managed infrastructure.

Standard IP agreements only cover work done after they are signed. For any pre-incorporation code, we identify the contributors and execute specific retroactive IP assignments to ensure the company fully owns the technology. We close these gaps immediately so they don’t surface as red flags later, whether that’s investor diligence, an acquisition, or a licensing deal.

That is entirely on us. If an execution error occurs on our end, we correct it immediately at our own cost. You are paying for a managed service, which means we carry the operational burden and the responsibility for keeping your entity in perfect standing.
