You might not need a lawyer to set up the corporate form, as many states have made this a pretty self-service, one-form-online process, but which form is best for you depends on your particular state regulations. Incorporation is not uniform across the states (and the reason why many BIG corps choose to incorporate in Delaware) and picking the wrong form may result in you having to pay more in filing fees, taxes (worker's comp, unemployment, etc.), reporting costs (quarterly returns vs. annual, for example) and overhead. Seek out some local experience from your chamber of commerce, business organizations, or even paying a lawyer specializing in this field an hour of their time to advise you on what to set up.
When I went LLC this last time around (12 years ago), I paid a lawyer for advice, did the paperwork and stood in line at the Secretary of State's office myself, and engaged a CPA for the first year to help me set up accounting systems and do all the tax reporting. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/cacw6n4uz8gk646qmuhwhummbqme-lclqirgwfqko_mhu10q...@mail.gmail.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
