Once you have your marketing strategy, a written business plan and funding planned for your new business, are you prepared to launch it? Not quite yet. Learn more at this event. The series is based on material found in SBA’s online Business Guide in the section “Launch Your Business” at www.sba.gov/business-guide. Attend any or all in one afternoon!
Pick Your Business Location, 1:00 pm
Your business location determines the taxes, zoning laws, and regulations your business will be subject to.
Choose a Business Structure/Business Name, 2:00 pm
The business structure you choose influences everything from day-to-day operations to taxes and how much of your personal assets are at risk.
Register Your Business/Get ID Numbers, 3:00 pm
Once you’ve picked your name, you should protect it by registering it with the right agencies to make it a distinct legal entity.
Apply for Licenses & Permits, 4:00 pm
Most small businesses need a combination of licenses and permits from both federal and state agencies. The requirements — and fees — vary based on your business activities, location, and government rules.
