Just a note for potentially cash-strapped California startups:
CA collects at least $800 a year for all corporations operating in the state, however, S and C corporations are exempt in the first year while LLCs are not. That $800 is due about 120 days after incorporation and it's an annual minimum franchise tax, so you'd have to make like $9,000 profit your first year to recoup it.
