I'm just wondering, what does it take for someone to take their little business and form a LLC, LTD, INC company out of it? Does anyone know where I can find information? Are there costs? Thanks!
Just check your state's website; or call the state office. For me, it didn't take much time at all and it only cost $50 (I'm from michigan). There is no need to pay one of the companies $200 to do it.
If you are from Maine, here is your state's website on LLC's: http://www.maine.gov/sos/cec/corp/llc.html
You'll want to get a SS-4 number from the IRS (just go to their site). After you have that and your new company papers, head to the bank to open an account.
