Re: Startin an internet business

Alfredo,

Congratulations to you on starting your own business. As you could imagine, there exists a myriad of issues you will need to address, including to start with; what corporate form your business will use, i.e., incorporation, LLC, etc. You will also have to deal with general permitting requirements from state and local governments. For example, will this business be run out of your home; will it be using a fictitious name? Additionally, you will have a series of business specific issues to deal with, such as liability, licensing, trademarks etc. All this may seem overwhelming, but with some guidance, you can smoothly and successfully navigate the process. Our firm helps small business owners from start-up through operation. If you would like to discuss further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours truly,

Bryan
