Today, I helped a new company who is looking to create a corporation and promote it locally. I will be working on a flier, brochure, article and advertising ideas.
It's amazing what goes into building a business. I was able to brainstorm ideas with them and remind them of important concepts they must keep in mind, including:
-Creating a corporation (LLC or S Corp, etc)
-Creating a business address, phone number
-Creating a web site
-Creating business cards
-Creating advertising/ promotion
-Deciding form of payment
-Office location if applicable
-Collecting sales tax
-Becoming compliant with city codes & laws
-Getting an accountant
-Setting up a billing system/ payroll
-Hiring/ training employees
-Getting product
-Getting co-op dollars possibly from vendor for selling product
Keep these items in mind if you are considering building a business. And this is just the tip of the iceberg!!!
