Also, don't forget the IRS...........make sure you know what type of business you need to be to fit your plan.sole prop, partnership, limited partnership, LLC, sub C corp, or corp........all have advantages/disadvantages. And once you decide and get your money, learn which tax laws apply to you because, the IRS can put you out of business in a wink, if you run afoul of the regulations, laws, or miss filing periods or deposits for taxes.
