Before you start your business, you need to do a few things:
1) Decide if you want to be a sole proprietorship or a corporation?? There are benefits and negatives to each business form.
2) Once you decide, you need to register your business name with the county. Also, if you are going to incorporate, you need to comply with your states statutes.
3) Finally, contact your states licensing board and see if your activities need to be licensed and/or bonded.
4) Hang your shingle and get to work.
