starting a Business

We can help you select the right type of business, whether its is Sole-Proprietorship, Partnership, Limited Liability Company, Professional Association, or Incorporated  and get you business filed with the state.  

We can help you with your business plan. Some example include: 

• Articles – Good topics for articles include anything related to your company – recent changes to operations, the latest company softball game – or the industry you’re in. General business trends (think national and even international) are great article fodder, too.

• Mission statements – You can tell a lot about a company by its mission statement. Don’t have one? Now might be a good time to create one and post it here. A good mission statement tells you what drives a company to do what it does.

• Company policies – Are there company policies that are particularly important to your business? Perhaps your unlimited paternity/maternity leave policy has endeared you to employees across the company. This is a good place to talk about that.

• Executive profiles – A company is only as strong as its executive leadership. This is a good place to show off who’s occupying the corner offices. Write a nice bio about each executive that includes what they do, how long they’ve been at it, and what got them to where they are.

You and your partner or partners are excited to be starting a business together. Everything is going right, there are no arguments, and a bunch of oral agreement. Nothing could go wrong, right? WRONG! 

Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong.

                                                 ~Murphy's Law  

The idea here that you and your partners want to protect yourselves in case there is a major disagreement and the business starts to go south. By taking preventative measures to protect you and your business, it will save you money in the long run. An operating agreement also gives you and your partners essentially guidelines to follow in case there is a disagreement that can help bring resolve.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of Americans launch their own businesses. According to the U.S. Small Business Administation (SBA), in 2010, there were 27.9 million small businesses in the U.S. The majority of these – more than 75% – were identified by the government as “non-employer” businesses, meaning that the owner is the only person working at the business.

Before your business can have any hope of becoming a legend (or even just profitable), you need to find a way to finance its birth. The SBA states that in 2009, the Ewing Marion Kauffmann Foundation estimated the average cost of starting a new small business in the U.S. to be about $30,000. To estimate what it will cost to launch your business, check out an online startup cost calculator, such as the one provided by Entrepreneur.com.
