A short and simple guide to starting a new business, with a particular focus on California, but applicable to most new business start-ups. The Business Quick Start Guide covers incorporation and LLC (limited liability company) questions that every new entrepreneur needs to know. The Business Quick Start Guide addresses how to obtain an IRS Federal Tax ID number, as well as the process of becoming an "S Corporation." This 24 page booklet is easy to digest, but thorough enough that you don't have to read a textbook for more information. The Business Quick Start Guide includes links to important websites for incorporation, state tax, sales tax, local tax and fictitious business name ("dba") filings.
