Author: It is not required to form a business entity to operate a business. It is however recommended for protection of personal assets such as vehicles and real estate that entrepreneurs strongly consider the protections provided by doing business through a formally recognized business entity.
This guide is only directed at the USA proper. As the most appropriate and cost effective ways to form an entity are not always the same from state to state, I have made every effort to identify the areas that are state dependent. The step by step guide covers the details needed as follows.
1. First Steps to Form a Business Entity
a. Name of Business
b. State of Business Entity
c. Type of Business Entity
2. Actions to Take
a. What Form to Choose
b. Getting and Employer Identification number (EIN)
c. Establishing a Business Checking Account
d. Licensing and Regulatory Agencies
All of these steps and actions will get you to a point where you are ready to write documents called “articles of incorporation, your letter to your Secretary of State, and your acceptance by registered agent. Once these are approved you will proceed to take actions a, b, c, and d, in that order.
Being a business owner is a trying but fulfilling experience. Everyone is not cut out for this but if you are one of those people please contact me by email for a free ebook that contains example letters and articles of incorporation that you can use to handle all of the paperwork that will be needed to get you ready to pursue that first revenue opportunity.
