Where Do I Start?

Your first step should be your firm plan. Many would-be entrepreneurs will skip this step, selecting the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants formula instead, but starting a firm without a firm plan is like embarking on a long journey to an unfamiliar place without a map.

A firm plan serves to define your goals, map out your plan of how to perform them, and will contribute you with a sense of purpose and accomplishment along the way.

Your firm plan should consist of the following elements:

1) the report of the business

2) the marketing plan

3) the financial supervision plan

4) the supervision plan

The Small firm supervision offers an online tutorial on how to write a firm plan. http://www.sba.gov/starting/indexbusplans.html

One of the first decisions your will have to make is what form your firm should take. The most coarse forms are:

Sole Proprietorships
Partnerships
Corporations

Which form you pick will depend on many factors, including:

Legal restrictions
Liabilities assumed
Type of firm carrying out
Earnings distribution
Capital needs
Number of employees
Tax advantages or disadvantages
Length of firm operation

Some of the advantages and disadvantages of each type is outlined below:

Sole Proprietorship

This is the easiest and least high-priced way of starting a business. A sole proprietorship can be formed by looking a location and opportunity the door for business. There are likely to be fees to fetch firm name registration, a fictitious name certificate and other significant licenses. Operating a Sole Proprietorship is easiest as the owner has absolute authority over all firm decisions.

Partnership

There are any types of partnerships. The two most coarse types are general and dinky partnerships. A general partnership can be formed plainly by an oral bargain between two or more persons, but a legal partnership bargain drawn up by an attorney is extremely recommended. Legal fees for drawing up a partnership bargain are higher than those for a sole proprietorship, but may be lower than incorporating. A partnership bargain could be helpful in solving any disputes. However, partners are responsible for the other partner's firm actions, as well as their own.

Corporation

A firm may merge without an attorney, but legal guidance is extremely recommended. The corporate buildings is usually the most complex and more high-priced to manufacture than the other two firm formations. Operate depends on stock ownership. Persons with the largest stock ownership, not the total number of shareholders, Operate the corporation. With Operate of stock shares or 51 percent of stock, a person or group is able to make procedure decisions. Operate is exercised through quarterly board of directors' meetings and annual stockholders' meetings. Records must be kept to document decisions made by the board of directors. Small, closely held corporations can Operate more informally, but record-keeping cannot be eliminated entirely. Officers of a corporation can be liable to stockholders for improper actions. Liability is ordinarily dinky to stock ownership, except where fraud is involved. You may want to merge as a "C" or "S" corporation.

What About Taxes?

It is very important to understand the tax laws that apply to the type of firm you have chosen.

There are four basic taxes that you should be aware of:

Income Tax
Self-Employment Tax
Employment Taxes
Excise Tax

Income Tax

You have to file an revenue Tax return if your revenue were more than 0 for the tax year. Even if your revenue were less than 0 from your business, you may still have to file a 1040 if you meet any of the criteria listing in the 1040 study booklet.

If you expect to owe more than ,000 in revenue Tax, you may have to pay Estimated Taxes. There are four ways to pay estimated taxes:

By crediting an overpayment on your 1999 return to your 2000estimated tax.
By sending in your cost with a payment-voucher from Form 1040-Es.
By paying electronically using the Electronic Federal Tax cost principles (Eftps). For Eftps information, call 1-800-945-8400 or 1-800-555-4477.
By credit card, using a pay-by-phone system.

Self-Employment Tax

Self-Employment Tax must also be paid if your net firm revenue were more than 0. Se Tax is a public protection and Medicare tax that provides resignation benefits, disability benefits, survivor benefits, and hospital insurance benefits to you under the public protection system.
