Beginning my LLC
So, the time for talk and planning is done. I’m just going to do, at long last. I’ve decided I may as well document my journey, too, so that others can learn from my mistakes.
Starting my contract work anew, this time to see how far it’ll take me.
I’ve decided to form an LLC instead of just doing a sole proprietorship. (Yeah… read elsewhere for the pros and cons of each.)
I considered paying these folks to set it up for me, but as honest as they seem I want to understand all the processes myself. I’ll trade my time for money and understanding, this round.
First Step
First step: checking to see if my LLC name is available. No web or e-mail form exists to do this: I must send a physical paper with a SASE to Sacramento and they’ll get back to me… at their leisure?
Next Steps
Then I’ll file the LLC paperwork (assuming the name is clear), get my EIN, and then registering for my business license in San Luis Obispo…
Feels like the beginning of a nice adventure…
