6 Things to Consider Now That Your LLC / INC is setup

Congratulations on setting up your new LLC or Incorporated (Inc.) entity. You got this far, now what?

6 Things to Consider After Setting Up Your New LLC or Inc.

Here are 6 things to consider now that your LLC or Incorporate (Inc.) entity is active:

1. Create articles and a bank resolution document for your new business checking account.
   
   
2. Set up a business checking account under the new entity, using its EIN number.
   
   
3. Complete an IRS W9 form with your new entity info. Give this to your customer(s) so they pay you using the EIN number and not your SSN number.
   
   
4. If you plan to purchase and resell materials/products, you’ll need to apply for a sales tax permit with your state (TX link here).
   
   
5. Be prepared for potential spam. What you get from the State of Texas is legit; read that. Anything else may be trying to convince you to spend money. Avoid those emails.
   
   
6. If you have a partner, we highly recommend contacting a business attorney and getting an Operating Agreement everyone agrees to with notarized signatures, so all partners are financially protected. We have witnessed too many partnership disputes over the last decade that all started in good spirits and ended in turmoil once the money started flowing in.
