Step 1: Define the Type of Company You Want to Create
Before starting, you must determine the type of legal structure that best suits your business. Main options include:
• Sole Proprietorship: Ideal for small businesses managed by a single person.
• Partnership: For businesses with two or more partners.
• LLC (Limited Liability Company): Combines benefits of a corporation and a partnership, protecting personal assets.
• Corporation (S-Corp or C-Corp): Best for large companies with multiple shareholders.
Recommendation: If you are unsure, consult a financial advisor to choose the correct structure.
Step 2: Choose your Company Name
Your business name must be unique and must not be previously registered in the state where you plan to operate. Check availability on the corresponding Secretary of State website.
Tip: Choose a name that is easy to remember, reflects your services or products, and can adapt to a web domain.
Step 3: Register your Company
Register your business in the state where it will be located. This includes filing necessary documents, such as Articles of Organization (for an LLC) or Articles of Incorporation (for a corporation).
Cost: Fees vary by state, ranging from $50 to $500.
Step 4: Obtain a Tax Identification Number (EIN)
The Employer Identification Number (EIN) is essential for opening business bank accounts, filing taxes, and hiring employees. You can request it for free on the IRS website.
Step 5: Open a Business Bank Account
Separating your personal finances from your business finances is crucial. To do this, you will need:
• EIN.
• Registration documents of your company.
• Valid personal identification.
Step 6: Comply with Licenses and Permits
Depending on the state, city, or industry, you may need specific licenses or permits. Check requirements with local government agencies.
Step 7: Establish a Plan of Accounting
Keep your finances organized from the start. Consider hiring an accountant or using accounting software to manage income, expenses, and taxes.
Step 8: Build an Online Presence
Nowadays, having a website and presence on social networks is essential for any business. Register a web domain and build a page that reflects your brand and services.
Creating a company in the US requires planning and following several legal steps. With this guide, you are better prepared to start your business successfully. If you need personalized help during the process, Vera & Associates Co is here to support you at every stage, from registration to tax management.
