What legal paperwork do you need to start a business? 
The legal requirements for each type of business entity are different. At Taiga Company, we offer professional consulting to help you identify your basic needs and guide you easily through the process.
However before a business starts the legal process, we advise clients to first take some time to think about the naming of your business.
In today’s business world, company identity is becoming a key component of business sustainability. Searching out business names by state can be done through the State Department of Commerce. However, domain names are often just as important. Web domain availability can be done with tools like GoDaddy or Whois.net.
Once you have confidence in your company name, the legal formalities can begin. Our small business resources can guide you on a fast track of services.
- Articles of incorporation are now made easy at The Company Corporation or My Corporation. These services can have you incorporated, with a Tax Id number, in a fairly short amount of time at a very minimal fee.
- LegalZoom can help you file your DBA. This is the name you will be “doing business as”. It allows you to open a bank account under this business name and legally publish it, as written, anywhere.
- Once incorporated, you are going to want to draw up a Company Operating Agreement and any needed corporate resolutions.
It is so rewarding to see your company name on an official document for the first time. Now, enjoy the success and of owning and operating your own business.
