Startup Tips | Attorney in Cary NC
- In our previous blog, we left off with choosing a business name. Once you’ve chosen a business name, it’s time to think about registering your domain name. Most businesses have a website, even if it’s a free hosting site that is used. Either way, make sure your domain name matches your business name in some way.
- The next is to consider your legal structure. Will you be an LLC, PC, corporation, or sole proprietorship? This is something that can be confusing and difficult to understand. Work with your attorney to help. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at any time.
- Employer identification numbers will be the one thing that makes your business separate from yourself. The EIN keeps you from having to use your Social Security number in situations where business banks and other organizations need a proof of identity need a proof of identity. It also helps cut down on identity theft for yourself, as well.
- Have you checked into whether or not you need a business license? Some industries require this. Be sure to check with the SBA in order to find out whether or not your type of business will require a license. This could be something that is issued at a state level or local level, depending on your industry. In some cases, you may need a permit. Be sure to check that, as well. Our attorney in Cary NC can help you with this.
- You may need customer contract forms at some point during your venture. These contracts will be useful for various different reasons. Your attorney can help you create the forms and help you decide which ones may be necessary for your business.
- Do you have a space in mind for your brick-and-mortar business? Will you be running your business online only? These are questions you may have already answered within your initial planning stages and creation of your business plan. However, if you were planning to have a brick-and-mortar business, now is the time to find your space. If you choose to have an online store, be sure to set up your website and social media profiles, as well.
