Question

How do you incorporate a business?

Answer 1

Hello,

Incorporating a business is not a difficult task. You can hire a local attorney that will draw up all the needed paperwork or you can go to legalzoom.com and file the paperwork yourself. Make sure you need to incorporate your business before taking these steps, your taxes, reporting times, your pay and many more items will change.

Answer 2

Basically you have to register with the state of incorporation, reserve (a) fictitious business name(s),

and obtain any required federal, state, and local business licenses.

I can't be more specific in this message because the "Devil is in the details" and the details are different for each state.

Your best bet is visit the local book store and look through the books on starting a business in the state.  Pick out the one you like the best and use it to guide you through the process.

Hope this helps
