CHOOSING A BUSINESS ENTITYList Item 3
Deciding which type of business entity best meshes with your business’s goals depends on a number of factors. Each entity type has unique characteristics providing varying degrees of flexibility, liability protection, and tax consequences.
Determining which is best for you is a critical first step when forming your new business.

GOVERNING DOCUMENTS, ESSENTIAL CONTRACTS & LEGAL FORMSList Item 4
Governing documents set forth the legal framework of your business operations. Each entity type requires a different set of governing documents that must be executed in order to begin doing business in the state.

BUSINESS NAME CHECK & RESERVATION
Your business’s name is the first impression made on potential customers. It can reflect your business’s identity and brand, and therefore choosing an appropriate name is an important first step when forming a new business.
Business owners need to not only choose a name they will be comfortable with for the indefinite future, but they must also take steps to ensure they are legally permitted to do business under that name and, if so, that its protected for the long term.
