When setting up a new business one of the most difficult tasks is the paperwork involved. This is particularly more difficult if you are trying to find one particular business structure. Given below are steps to set up a company irrespective of the structure of the business.
1. Name your BusinessCreate a name for your business that is unique and different. The name you give your business is also called a “doing business as”, or DBA name. You have to use this name on all Government forms that you have to fill for example for any license your business requires or tax forms etc. 2. Register for Employee Identification Number (EIN) It is the IRS that issues the employee identification number (EIN). The EIN issued to your business is used for federal and state taxation and for documents required for payroll tax reporting. You have to apply for the EIN on the IRS website. While applying for EIN you will have to register your company under the name you have created for it. 3.

"My name is Anastasia Yecke Gude and I am the owner of Healing Hands Therapeutic Massage LLC. In the process of my company’s growth and expansion, I suddenly found myself a few weeks ago in need of a 1099 contractor agreement, and I needed it ASAP. As in, the very next day! I contacted the Law Office of Yoel Molina and his assistant put me in touch with Mo. I sent him what I had drafted up and he replied within a few hours with suggested revisions and clarifications, as well as a few insights I had not even considered. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality of work he provided, especially considering the time crunch I put him in (sorry, Mo!). I definitely recommend his services to anyone in need of a good contract attorney, and I will be calling him again for future work…hopefully in less of a rush next time!"
