Starting a Business

Starting a business can be exciting. It can also be stressful. There are nearly unlimited decisions you need to make such as where to establish your business, how you'll get funding, what licensing you need, and whether you need a sole proprietorship, LLC, corporation, or something else. We've done this before. We can give you the information you need to choose how to get started. 

Small Business Basics

Sole Proprietorships and Partnerships
If you start a business on your own, or with one or more other people, sometimes it can be as simple as putting a price tag on a product, or sending an invoice for a service. Often, there are other considerations in order to ensure that you are fully protected and won't run into issues down the road. 
We can walk you through the specifics of what you need to make your business a success. 
Single and Multi-Member LLCs
Anyone with a computer and a data connection can register an LLC in the State of Ohio. Did you include all the necessary information? Is your agent prepared to receive legal notice? What do you do after you receive your certificate?
Our office can help you understand what it takes to get your LLC started, including the pros and cons of single member and multi member LLCs, what the next steps are
New LLC Information Form
Corporations
There are number of considerations when starting a for-profit or non-profit corporation. One key aspect is understanding the roles each person plays in the organization. You will also need to clarify the responsibilities of the parties, how your shares can be transferred, to whom they can be transferred, under what circumstances can you merge with another business, among many other things. 

We would be happy to meet with you and your team to help you understand the process of starting a business. Contact our office, or click on the button below to schedule your consultation. In-person, phone, video and virtual options are available.
