Foundation
The Right Entity
Most owners are operating under the wrong structure for what banks, bureaus, and lenders want to see. We bring in Tax Hive right at the entity-construction stage to architect it correctly — entity type + tax election, EIN posture, operating address, NAICS code, and ownership documentation. Clean books from day one = lender readiness from day one, so every future application (and every future tax return) starts on a yes.
