Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Im looking to start an online business to help homeowners find a great deal on contractors ranging from plumbers to cleaning people. I know there are many other companies that offer such services but I have a twist or new way of doing it. I just need help to get on the right path. Thank You.

What type of help are you looking for? There are many issues involved in starting your own business. While you can handle the basic registration yourself, you should talk with an attorney to discuss whether you should incorporate, register as a sole proprietor, or form an LLC. In addition, an attorney can help you avoid common problems that most entrepeneurs face, such as registration of company assets, licensing, protecting your intellectual property (your "twist" as you called it), registration of trademark (and avoiding infringing on other's trademarks), ensuring that your company adheres to all employment-related laws, etc. Feel free to call my office if you would like to discuss these issues.
