ForumsStarting a Business

When we started our business in Florida, we did a tremendous amount of research on the web. The state website is awesome. Look for one in your state. Are you sure a "partnership" is the best way to go? Will you have liability issues with your type of company. Make sure when you set everything up that you protect yourself. It's worth going thru the motions, get registered in your state, get a tax id#, etc. If it is all to overwhelming hire an attorney or accountant to help you out. You will invest a small amount of money that will pay off in the end. I'm not a professional, by any means, just a small business with some good mentors and connections to help us be successful (food on the table). BTW....if you are looking to avoid the IRS, how do you plan on working for goverment agencies like schools and colleges, just a thought. (you invoice them they write you a check, paper trail) Good Luck

Yeah, you definitely need a tax idea. And I agree, you might want to consider an LLC. But, if you want to test the waters first to make sure you can make some money, you can start with a partnership. In some states, an LLC or other forms can some with a heavy yearly tax fee. But don't hold off too long, because yo will need the protection.
