Getting Started It's important to realize that no source can give you a perfect checklist of what needs to be done to get your business up and running, although for a few hundred dollars an experienced business attorney could probably come close. In general, the initial decisions you will need to make and actions you will need to take are name selection; choice of business form; where to bank; who will own parts of the business in what proportion in return for what consideration (will owners contribute money, property or efforts?); what the business will do; where the business will do it and under what terms will the business occupy that space; who the business will employ and on what terms they will be employed; how much money the business will need, whether that money will come from owners or a lender or both; and how long any borrowed money will be needed; who are the business's regulators and what do they require? The articles linked below will help you work your way to some of those answers, others can come only from you.
