Answer 2

I'm not quite sure what you mean by turn yourself? If you want to start a small business as a sole proprietor first you go to the city hall where your business will be based and apply for a business license cost is usually under $75. Next go to a bank of your choice and open a business checking account, they will advise the steps needed. You will not need any tax id numbers as your social security number does the trick. And that's it you are in business.
