Starting a new business can be overwhelming. With the experience based on my many years with SCORE, I can help you take the first critical steps that will enable you to begin on a firm footing and spend your time ensuring that your business is a success.
I am able to provide direction to determine the proper business structure for a startup venture. I can give guidance to registering a Limited Liability Company (LLC) with the secretary of state and obtaining a Washington business license from the Department of revenue. Also experienced in assisting in the setup up of a nonprofit corporation and filing for 501c3 status.
I can review all the taxes that small businesses are subject to, both federal and state and the requirements for collecting sales tax on in state and out of state sales. I can explain the benefits and requirements of filing for S Corp status.
Proper record keeping is essential in the business startup process. I have personal experience with many of the accounting systems that are available to the small business owner and can help you determine the best fit for you. The proper insurance is always necessary, and I can cover the basics with you.
