I would like to setup a small business, with 2 people, (should be a Limited Liability company, LLC )Business will be selling "Healthy Foods"What are the steps do i need to do in order to setup a company?Do I need a BUSINESS LICENSE or PERMIT??I heard I need to go register with state gov and get a EIN, and put a small advertisement on the news paperWhat else I need to do, or am I doing it correctly so far, Please provide steps or guild, thanks.--Answer1:Step I:GET A LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...With two of you, you need to put EVERYTHING into writing so there are no misunderstandings, or mis-communications later.Step 2: GET A LAWYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...The laws involving such matters are long and complicated, and a lawyer will help guide you through the paperwork, and get you through the proper steps. Plus, with you selling food, and dealing with people, you know for a fact something is going to go wrong at some point (recall, slippery steps, cans falling off a shelf) and you know your customers have lawyers.Step 3:Get an accountant. Tax laws are designed to be difficult to understand, and the last thing you need is the IRS kicking in the doors to your shop one bright sunny morning and having you get to work with nothing left in the shop..--Answer2:I have been doing a research for my own because I want to set up an LCC for my web business.
