FAQs

What type of business structure should I choose?

The choice of business structure—sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC, or corporation—impacts liability, taxes, and management. It’s essential to select the one that aligns with your goals and protects your personal assets.

How do I register my business in my state?

You will need to file the appropriate paperwork with your state’s Secretary of State office. This may include registering a business name (DBA), obtaining an Employer Identification Number (EIN), and ensuring your business complies with state-specific requirements.

Do I need a business license or permit?

Many businesses require licenses or permits to operate legally, depending on the type of business and your location. It's important to check with local, state, and federal agencies to determine which licenses or permits you need.
