Registered your business?

Who here has registered their online business?

Up until a year ago I haven't made loads of money, but I feel it's time to legitimately register myself as a sole proprietor and start keeping the books.


Have you?

What all did you do?

I plan on just filing, then setting up a couple "business" accounts with my bank.

 

Setting up a sole proprietorship is extremely easy. Just download a few forms off your state's website and send them in. You can use your name which is free or a "fictitious name" which will be $75 or so.

Then you're set.

 

Are you in the US? If so, talk to your state and city business folks.

In my case, I started at http://www.sos.state.mn.us

and registered my business, etc.

 

I'm registered my company government

 

I have also registered my business with a "fictitious business" name, just go to your citys website download the forms and your all set

 

An S-Corp has way more tax advantages than a sole proprietorship.

 

What kind of advantages do you have for registering your online business as a sole proprietorship?
