Episode 06: Your Successful Business Foundation
Now it's time to go deeper into your business infrastructure and foundation. Business entity types matter – should you be a sole proprietor, LLC, or S-Corp? Don't just go to a document filing service; understand what each entity actually is and what you need. Get registered with the IRS and your state, and possibly your county. Set up a business bank account, and set up contracts and insurance if you need liability or errors & omissions coverage. Make sales and track everything. If you decide to pay estimated quarterly taxes, do it personally through your SSN, even if you have an EIN – you don't need to file separate taxes until you're an S-Corp.
