In the first part of our guide, we discussed the initial steps for setting up a business. Now, in this second part, we’ll cover the additional actions you need to take to ensure your business is legally compliant and financially prepared.


Get Licenses and Permits
Before you start, find out what licenses and permits are needed for your industry and location. Every business is different, so make sure you're following the right rules to avoid fines.

Open a Business Bank Account
Keep your business and personal money separate by opening a business bank account. This will help you stay organized and make tax time easier.

Register for State Taxes
Depending on your state, you may need to register for taxes like sales tax or payroll tax. Check your state’s requirements so you don’t miss any important steps.

Register for Federal Taxes

You’ll need to register your business with the IRS for federal taxes. Most businesses need an Employer Identification Number (EIN), which you can get online. File Annual Reports Many states require businesses to file annual reports to stay active. Make sure to file these reports on time to avoid any penalties. Get Business Insurance Protect your business by purchasing insurance, such as liability or workers’ compensation. The right insurance will cover you in case of accidents or legal issues. Set Up a Record-Keeping System Keep track of your business finances with a system for managing receipts, invoices, and other important documents. This will make things easier at tax time and help you manage your money.

Conclusion
By following these steps, you’ll have everything you need to keep your business running smoothly and legally compliant. If you need more guidance and support, contact us today. We're here to help you every step of the way!
