Description

The business start-up checklist below is meant to inform you of the tasks you may have to perform when starting your business. Not every small business will have to complete each step. For instance, you may decide not to register your trademark with state or federal officials. Or, you may not be required to publish a notice of intent to do business. Since laws vary by state and by type of business, be sure to check with local authorities to determine if there are any additional legal steps you need to take.
