Entity Formation

Form an LLC to acquire property and secure financing.

Borrowers—and their attorneys, brokers, and agents—rely on us to establish entities that hold real estate, satisfy lender requirements, and protect client privacy.

Privacy by Design

We can’t disclose what we don’t collect.

Entity formation should never expose excessive information. We collect only the minimum details required by law and substitute placeholder information wherever legally permissible.

BORROWERS

Your personal information and transaction strategies remain unexposed to the general public.

BORROWER ATTORNEYS

Your client identities remain protected, and privileged strategies stay intact.

BORROWER BROKERS

Your client relationships remain secure, and your data is never used for solicitation.

BORROWER AGENTS

Your clients, principals, and beneficiaries remain shielded from public traceability.

Standard by Design

LLC built for business.

In business and in real estate, LLCs are the dominant structure for ownership and operations.

A Limited Liability Company is the adaptable standard for business formation, combining liability protection, flexible governance, and straightforward tax treatment in a single, efficient form.

SPE built for real estate.

In real estate financing, lenders typically require the borrower to be an LLC structured as an SPE.

An SPE is a “Single Purpose Entity” in that it holds only the secured asset, and a “Special Purpose Entity” in that it restricts activities, liabilities, and risks outside a loan.

For Real Estate Financing

Lenders expect SPEs.

In real estate—commercial and residential—entity formation is often an early step to hold title, protect assets, manage liability, separate operations, structure ownership, or secure financing. We establish LLCs for these purposes, including as borrowing entities, intermediate holding entities, parent companies, or beneficial structures.

Borrowing entities—the LLCs that hold title to properties and are designated as borrowers of record on loans—are typically structured or amended as SPEs once a lender is selected and a term sheet is signed, while other entities remain standard LLCs.

This approach gives borrowers and their deal teams exactly what transactions demand: clean ownership structures, lender-ready borrowers, and formations that protect privacy without creating downstream friction. Entities formed with Beplace stand up to scrutiny at financing—precise, discreet, and aligned from the start.

Coverage

Nationwide.

We form entities in every U.S. jurisdiction—cities, counties, and territories included. LLCs are recognized everywhere, and SPE provisions are widely used in real estate financing.

Most states do not require personal information in formation filings. And even where some disclosure of personal information is mandated, we still collect only the minimum details required by law—nothing more, nothing less. Borrowers can rely on Beplace for the highest level of privacy permissible in every jurisdiction.

Single Entity

An entity stands alone.

Some transactions require just one entity—created to hold title, protect assets, manage liability, separate operations, structure ownership, or secure financing. We establish these entities so they comply with loan requirements and stand up to lender scrutiny.

Dots

Multiple Entities

Entities work together.

Other transactions demand more than one entity—as multiple borrowers or layered through intermediaries, parents, or beneficial owners. Each entity must be precise on its own while fitting into a coherent whole. We establish these entities so they comply with loan requirements, fit as a coherent whole, and adhere to transaction objectives.

Collaboration by Design

We work with borrowers, attorneys, brokers, and agents.

Entity formation is rarely isolated in a real estate transaction. It takes shape within a deal team, where legal, financial, and strategic interests converge. We collaborate across roles to ensure each formation is consistent and compliant with transaction requirements.

BORROWERS

We work with borrowers to ensure entities reflect ownership intent and transaction objectives.

BORROWER ATTORNEYS

We work with borrower attorneys to align entity formation with legal strategies.

BORROWER BROKERS

We work with borrower brokers and coordinate with lenders to obtain required SPE provisions.

BORROWER AGENTS

We work with borrower agents to ensure entity structures are consistent with deal expectations.

Formation Workflow

LLC by default. SPE on demand.

We guide each formation through steps that build entities fit for both business operations and financing execution.

REQUEST SUBMITTED

Send an entity formation request through any of our communication channels—without exposing unnecessary personal information.

REQUIRED DETAILS (LLC)

We collect only the minimum information required by law: entity name, state of formation, and filing speed.

OPTIONAL DETAILS (SPE)

(optional) We add single-purpose and special-purpose provisions when lender-ready structuring is requested.

INVOICE AND PAYMENT

We issue an invoice, collect payment securely before filing, and deliver a receipt as a searchable OCR PDF.

NAME CHECK

​We confirm that the requested name is available and free of conflicts in state records, without exposing personal information.

REGISTERED AGENT AT FILING

We temporarily designate our registered agent by default at filing to preserve and maintain privacy in public records.

ENTITY FILING (LLC)

We file the limited liability company using only the minimum statutory details required by the state of formation.

ENTITY FILING (SPE)

(Optional) We file with single-purpose and special-purpose provisions when lender or counsel provides the required language.

The state accepts the filing and we deliver stamped formation documents as searchable OCR PDFs.

Why $500?

Meticulous precision prevents costly mistakes.

Our flat $500 fee reflects the true economics of real estate transactions. An error in formation—a missed provision, a rejected filing, or a late amendment—can trigger repeated state filings, higher borrower and lender legal charges and fees, and even delayed closings. Compared to those costs, $500 is a negligible investment to get it right the first time.

Formation may be a one-step or two-step process. Some entities are formed and structured as SPEs from the outset, while others begin as LLCs and are later amended once a lender is selected and a term sheet is signed. Either path demands meticulous precision in execution and accuracy in outcome.

Beplace delivers formations trusted by attorneys, brokers, and agents—discreet, lender-aligned, and correct the first time. Unlike retail organizers, we do not rely on up-sells or compliance bundles. We form entities built for real estate transactions, preserving privacy and sustaining momentum.

What We Do

Beplace offers you the same entity formation service we use.

We form LLCs for real estate transactions. We also structure LLCs as SPEs when single-purpose and special-purpose provisions are required for real estate financing.

What We Don’t Do

Beplace doesn’t misuse your client data or your client relationships.

We don’t provide legal, tax, or compliance services. We don’t use your client data to solicit your clients, interfere in your business, or compete against you.

Disclaimers.
The following disclaimers apply to Beplace’s Entity Formation service and the information presented on this page. They explain the scope of this service, the limits of our responsibilities, and the role of independent legal, tax, and compliance counsel. Each section disclaimer is tied to the corresponding content above.

General Disclaimers.
The information on this page is provided for general informational purposes only and is not a substitute for legal, tax, compliance, or financial counsel. Past performance or examples do not guarantee outcomes in your jurisdiction or with any specific transaction. All entity formation documents must be reviewed by borrower’s counsel and lender’s counsel prior to closing, and final acceptance of any formation remains at the discretion of the lender and its advisors.

Communications Disclaimers.
Standard communications are provided through Beplace’s designated channels. Alternative communication methods may be accommodated upon request, but use of non-standard channels may reduce the privacy protections otherwise afforded by Beplace’s processes.

Service Scope Disclaimers.
Beplace may expand its role if separately engaged for financing execution—to include obtaining employer identification numbers (EINs), preparing organizational documents, or delivering other loan-condition materials tied to the entity. Borrower's personally identifiable information (PII) is required by lenders for underwriting and compliance in such engagements. Until then, Beplace requests for its entity formation service only the minimum information required by law, preserving borrower privacy until disclosure to Beplace becomes unavoidable.

1 Privacy by Design.
Beplace always requests only the minimum information required by applicable law to complete an entity formation, regardless of jurisdiction. In states where personal information is mandated, Beplace complies strictly with statutory requirements but does not request information beyond those minimum disclosures. Beplace cannot prevent disclosure of personal information if compelled by lawful authority, including but not limited to state filings, court orders, or regulatory requests; however, any disclosure is inherently limited to the minimum information collected by Beplace under applicable law—information that would already be available in the relevant publicly accessible records. Borrower and lender counsel remain responsible for confirming that these privacy practices satisfy due diligence and compliance requirements.

2 Standard by Design.
Beplace’s descriptions of LLCs and SPEs are for informational purposes only and do not constitute legal, tax, or compliance advice. The suitability of an LLC or SPE structure depends on borrower circumstances and lender requirements, which remain the responsibility of the borrower and their advisors. When SPE provisions are required, Beplace incorporates lender-supplied or counsel-supplied language into formation documents; Beplace does not draft or opine on the sufficiency of such provisions.

3 For Real Estate Financing.
Beplace provides an entity formation service designed to align with lender expectations but does not guarantee loan approval, loan funding, or lender acceptance of any formation. Borrowers and their advisors remain responsible for meeting all lender conditions, covenants, and due diligence requirements. Beplace’s alignment with lender expectations with respect to its entity formation service is limited to entity formation and does not extend to representations, warranties, or covenants required under financing agreements. Independent Director or Springing Member appointments, when required, must be arranged through the borrower’s chosen providers and coordinated with counsel.

4 Coverage.
Beplace forms entities in nearly every U.S. jurisdiction; however, all formations are subject to state-specific laws, filing office requirements, and state delays beyond Beplace’s control. Statements regarding privacy protections are limited to what is permissible under applicable law in each jurisdiction.

5 Single Entity.
A single-entity formation may not, by itself, insulate borrowers from liability or guarantee lender approval. Borrowers should consult their legal and tax advisors for transaction-specific guidance.

6 Multiple Entities.
Descriptions of multiple-entity structures are illustrative and do not represent legal advice or an exhaustive list of possible ownership arrangements. Beplace does not provide tax or compliance structuring advice regarding multiple-entity ownership arrangements, and borrowers should seek independent tax and legal advice before adopting multi-entity structures.

7 Collaboration by Design.
Beplace collaborates with borrowers and their deal teams on entity formation but does not replace the role of independent borrower counsel, tax advisors, or compliance professionals. Coordination with lenders is limited to obtaining SPE language or related provisions and does not extend to loan negotiations or approvals. When engaged for its entity formation service, Beplace does not act as a party to loan negotiations or provide advice regarding loan terms, lender selection, or financing strategy. Beplace’s role is complementary: we execute formation mechanics and filings efficiently, while borrower and lender counsel retain responsibility for legal sufficiency, enforceability, and compliance with financing standards.

8 Formation Workflow.
Beplace’s formation workflow describes typical processes; actual steps may vary depending on jurisdictional requirements, lender conditions, or borrower-specific needs. Timelines are dependent on state processing times, which are outside of Beplace’s control. Unless separately contracted, responsibilities such as obtaining EINs, fulfilling state publication requirements, or completing other regulatory filings remain with the borrower and their advisors. These responsibilities may be assumed by Beplace if the borrower engages Beplace for financing execution services, where entity formation becomes part of broader loan-condition deliverables. When entity amendments are required to add SPE provisions after initial formation, Beplace prioritizes and files such amendments as quickly as jurisdictional processes allow, subject to receipt of final language from counsel or lender.

9 Pricing.
The stated $500 flat service fee applies exclusively to Beplace’s entity formation service. Government fees—including state filing fees, expedited processing charges, and certified documents—as well as any third-party charges are billed as pass-through expenses. Clients must provide written authorization for Beplace to charge a saved payment method, which will only be charged if wired funds covering the service are not received at closing. Any temporary authorization hold does not guarantee final payment; if closing does not occur, Beplace may capture the hold in accordance with the client’s authorization.

Accepted payment methods include credit and debit cards, digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Cash App), bank transfers (ACH, wire, escrow), and digital currencies. Beplace reserves the right to adjust its service fee for future engagements, though any adjustment will not affect fees already agreed upon at the time of engagement.

10 Why $500?
Statements regarding the comparative costs of formation errors are illustrative and not guarantees of actual savings. Borrowers remain responsible for all costs arising from state filings, lender requirements, or professional fees outside of Beplace’s service.

11 What We Do.
Beplace’s Entity Formation service is limited to the establishment of LLCs and, when applicable, structuring those LLCs as SPEs.

12 What We Don’t Do.
Beplace does not use client data to solicit clients, compete with advisors, or otherwise interfere with client relationships. Beplace does not provide legal representation, tax preparation, compliance monitoring, or other professional advisory services. Beplace does not provide, and clients should not rely on Beplace for, legal, tax, compliance, accounting, or financial advice—all such responsibilities remain with the borrower and their independent advisors.
