Legal Question in Business Law in Pennsylvania

Re: Online store startup

Guys, one of the first things you will need to do is form the appropriate business entity. Whether it is a corporation, LLC, or some other business form, to gain maximum protection you need to shield against personal liability. Email me I'd happy to talk with you. Normally such protection can be accomplished for under $200.

In addition to the type of business entity you'd want to form, it is also important to discuss the state in which you'd want to form the business. For example, if you wish your identities to be shielded from the public records, certain jurisdictions will allow for this.

Also, will you be distributing the merchandise yourself, or acting as a drop shipper such that you won't store any inventory yourself? If it is the former, there are zoning issues you'll want to consider. I'd be happy to give you a price quote once I have a better understanding of how this business will look.
