Your Questions About Starting a Business

Starting a business is not as simple as building a website and saying, “come buy from me!” Unfortunately, there are dozens of decisions, forms, and licenses you will need to work through to be able to run a business. For instance, should you organize your business as a Limited Liability Company or as a B-Corp? What you decide will affect your business significantly as you grow.
A Limited Liability Company, or LLC, allows the owner of a business significant personal legal protection in case something happens while operating the business. However, company profits are taxed as personal income taxes.
A corporation is a business structure where the business is a separate entity than its owners. The corporation makes business decisions, pays its taxes, and distributes profits to shareholders. There are several different types of corporations, all designated by IRS codes.

It’s like an LLC, but an LLC can have multiple owners.

Every circumstance is different and there are pros and cons to every business structure. That’s why it is critical you meet with an attorney and a tax professional to fully determine what works best for your business.

The Orlando Law Group takes the information and files the proper paperwork with all the governmental entities. In Florida, a business must register with the federal government to obtain a business ID number. It then must register with the State of Florida. Finally, the city or county often requires a business license. We take all of that off your plate.

Are you planning to design a new logo? Then we’ll help you get a trademark. Will you use contracted labor or hire employees? We’ll develop contracts for each case. Will you need a standard sales contract? A contract to offer credit to customers? Bylaws and procedures for the operations of the business?
