    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.

    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?
