Re: Need start up advice. Where do you live & operate? You will definitely need a business license, but you're only required to get an EIN number from the IRS if you have employees. Still, it's not bad to get one anyway.
If you're in the US the best thing you could do is get ahold of the SBA (Small Business Admin.) in your area. They have tons of resources to help you do everything right. Also, your state probably has classes available for startups to teach you about all the required paperwork, how sales tax works, etc.
Oh, and check out SCORE - they're online - it's a society of retired entrepreneurs who offer their time to help people just getting started. Lots more resources! |
