I am starting a software business and I am not entirely sure how to proceed with incorporation and drafting an operating agreement.

I have one co-founder and we’ve been working together for a few months validating our product with our target market but have not started building. We are ready to start building but we’d like to have a business entity set up with a business bank account so that everything can stay organized under the business.

We’re not sure where to start or who to work with. I’ve found some start-up attorneys through Google searches and have considered options like Stripe Atlas and Clerky but I’m not sure how important it is to have a lawyer handle everything vs. an automated “service”.

Does anyone have experience finding the right attorney to work with or using a service like Stripe Atlas?

    I used IncFile.com and incorporated in Delaware. They have a free option, but I opted for the $199 option which included an operating agreement, EIN number (necessary for the bank account), and everything else I needed.

    I work at a law firm and have attorneys at my disposal, and still I chose this path because it was easiest and most painless.

    The only thing else you need is an agreement between you and your co-founder. You can use mine if you send me a DM.
