In order to set up a business entity, you will need to choose which type of business entity is best suited for your goals and objectives. The most common forms of business entities are corporations, limited liability companies (LLC), partnerships, sole proprietorships and cooperatives. Each form has its own advantages and disadvantages that should be carefully considered before selecting one.
Once the desired form of business entity has been selected, there are several steps that must be taken in order to formally create it. Generally speaking, these steps include: determining the name of the company; registering with the applicable state or federal government agency; obtaining any necessary licenses or permits; drafting articles of incorporation or other formation documents; filing tax identification numbers; establishing a bank account(s); creating an operating agreement or bylaws if required; and appointing directors/managers/members (as appropriate). It is also important to note that certain types of businesses may require additional registration requirements such as professional licensing in addition to those listed above.
Additionally, depending on where your company operates geographically within the United States you may need to comply with different laws regarding taxes and other regulations related to doing business in those areas. This can vary significantly from state-to-state so consulting experienced legal professionals prior to beginning operations is highly recommended in order ensure compliance with all relevant local laws and regulations governing your particular type of corporate structure.
