LLC or CORPORATION REGISTRATION
by Deluxe
Forming as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or corporation limits your legal and financial responsibility as a business owner for the activities and debts of the business. It allows you to create a separation of your business and personal assets.
SOLE PROPRIETOR DBA
by My Corporation
A sole proprietor can operate under a name other than their legal name. This provides benefits like added credibility as well as a separation of your personal and business entity. A DBA also gives you the ability to open up a separate bank account under the business name, allowing your customers can make payments to the business itself, instead of to you personally.
EMPLOYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
by My Corporation
An Employer Identification Number (EIN), or Federal Tax ID, is a unique number assigned to your business by the Internal Revenue Service that is used to identify a business entity, allowing you to file business income tax returns. With an EIN you can open a business banking account, hire employees, and build a business credit profile.
OPERATING AGREEMENT
by My Corporation
An Operating Agreement is a legal document that outlines the structure and operations of a Limited Liability Company (LLC). It defines how the LLC will be managed, details the nature of the business, and specifies the rights, responsibilities, and duties of its members. The agreement serves as an official contract governing the financial, functional, and procedural decisions of the LLC.
