CorpNet vs. Gust Launch

CorpNet can form entities in all 50 states, while Gust focuses heavily on Delaware C Corporations. For many business owners, forming a C Corporation in Delaware might not be the best choice. CorpNet expands your options beyond the C Corporation structure to also include Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), S Corporations, Partnerships, Limited Liability Partnerships, Nonprofit Corporations, and more. Gust supports some of these other entity types but has more limited selection. CorpNet’s versatility allows you to choose the optimal entity type and state of registration for your business.

CorpNet covers an array of compliance requirements, including annual report filings, amendments, DBAs, foreign qualifications, dissolutions, and more in all 50 states. We also help companies determine the state and local business licenses and permits they need. We can even prepare and submit the applications to the appropriate agencies to save you valuable time and effort. In addition, we provide compliance monitoring and notifications to make sure you’re aware of upcoming filing and reporting deadlines.

Gust doesn’t specialize in ongoing legal compliance and therefore doesn’t assist clients in preparing and submitting all the required filings to keep their business entities in good standing and legally compliant.

CorpNet provides registered agent representation nationally. No matter which state(s) your business is registered or foreign-qualified in, we ensure that your official legal and government notices are received and shared with you promptly.

Gust does not provide this vital service for businesses in states other than Delaware. So if you form or foreign qualify your entity anywhere else, you must find your own registered agent service provider in those states.

CorpNet can assist with IRS filings such as requesting S Corporation election or revocation, obtaining an EIN, registering for state and local sales and use tax, applying for or closing payroll tax accounts, and registering for state corporate income tax. We also handle the required letters for notifying the IRS of certain changes such as naming a new responsible party for your entity, converting to a different entity type, changing your entity’s domicile state, or moving to a new business address.

Gust does not have the same breadth of capabilities and is more focused on connecting startup business owners with investors and providing services to help them raise funds and manage equity.

CorpNet offers personalized, hands-on support from entity formation and compliance specialists with experience handling filings for a wide variety of entities. Reach out to us by phone, email, or live online chat to talk with a real human expert based in the U.S.

Gust’s support is more aligned with startup growth, fundraising workflows, and investor networks.

CorpNet has expertise and experience working with companies of all sizes in all industries. From hungry, investor-seeking startups to long-standing, established companies, we provide the formation and compliance services needed for laying a firm foundation upon which you can build and maintain a thriving business.

Alternately, Gust seems to target emerging companies seeking capital from angel investors.
