Learning How to Register a Business is Necessary if You Want to Launch a New Company

By learning how to register a business, you can get started almost immediately with your business plans and dreams. You really cannot start any business in the U.S. without registering it first.

Again, I can help you with the process. Email sam@mollaeilaw.com for a consultation.

To begin your start-up or U.S. company and register it, you will first need to decide on the type of organization you want to form. Most beginning businesses set up a limited liability company (LLC), as this type of entity is easier to form than a traditional C corporation.

You also will not be subject to double taxation, and the fees of set-up are lower. If you do choose to incorporate, you can attract more venture capital. Therefore, if you wish to go public with your business in the stock market and wish to raise funds, you may want to incorporate.

To separate your personal holdings from your business assets, it often is better to register your business as an LLC. An LLC limits your personal liability, so someone will not come after your assets if your business is sued. Therefore, this type of business registration is often recommended for start-ups as they can incorporate, if desired, at a later date.

In addition, an LLC allows you to enjoy pass-through taxation. Therefore, you only pay taxes on your personal income, not on the revenue from your U.S. business.

Why It is Advantageous to Know How to Register a Business in the USA

By knowing how to register a business in the USA, you can do one of several things, such as the following:

1. Open up online accounts with other businesses
2. Gain access to another market, if you are from another country
3. Open a bank account in the U.S. so you can sell to a new demographic

In this scenario, let’s assume that you decide to form an LLC, as this is the type of entity that I recommend that most of my clients form when they register a U.S. business. If you have any further questions along these lines, I can always answer them. Email sam@mollaeilaw.com anytime.

To figure out where to start and register your business, you should decide where you want to establish your LLC. If you are from another country, I may recommend that you register and begin your business in Wyoming, as Wyoming is a very friendly state with respect to start-ups and LLCs.

Not only are the costs for beginning a business lower, the registration costs for a start-up are not as much as they are in other states. Here are some other benefits that you cannot help but appreciate.

1. You don’t pay state taxes
2. The member managers are not listed, so the formation is more private
3. The state features the best asset protection laws in the U.S.
4. You don’t have to meet citizenship requirements
5. The business enjoys a perpetual life, so you do not have to end the business in case the ownership changes
6. Ownership can be easily transferred
7. No restrictions are placed on the number of LLC owners

As with all LLCs, you enjoy protection of your personal assets and therefore limited liability.

How to Register a Business in the USA – Why You Need a Registered Agent

Knowing how to register a business in the USA includes securing the services of a registered agent. A registered agent can be a business or individual that will manage the formation documents for your company during the regular business hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 pm during the week.

You will also need the services of a registered agent after you set up your business, as they will need to handle any legal paperwork that involves your new company.

Therefore, before you register you company, make sure you have a registered agent in place. The company or person who oversees this work should be based in the state where you set up your LLC or incorporate.

Now you are ready to begin the registration process.

To register a business, you will need to check the Secretary of State’s database to choose a unique name for your company. This is done to ensure that the name you select has not already been taken.

To speed up the process, you should have another name in mind in case the name you want to use is currently being used by another business. Checking on a name will avoid any problems with your company’s use of branding or a trademark in the future.

Once you choose a unique name for your business, you can register it. You will register your business with the Secretary of State’s office where you plan to base your LLC or corporation.
