 New Georgia Business Set Up All Phases of  Their New Tax and Legal/Incorporation Responsibilities

Working with  the many nuances of the incorporation process if not for the meek of heart or for the unprepared. It is always prudent to first talk with a CPA in a face-to-face meeting to ensure that you pick the legal operating entity that is best for you business, its operating goals and to keep your tax bill as low as legally possible. After your business is set up correctly much of the initial paperwork is done, however there is much left for the business owner to do. For example, we recently received this letter from one of our new clients.

Hi John: 

Rainy days and Mondays! J Good song…but I’m not down!   

I met with the banker you referred last week. Thank you so much for the referral. I am also going to work with the attorney you suggested. She’s really nice and I like her positive attitude!! 

My new banker asked me for a few things and I wanted to make sure I could provide him with this later today: 

• ·         Articles of Incorporation (is that something that is in a format that I could email him?)
• ·         TAX ID
• ·         Trade Name Authorization (I am going to use a new name as the company’s DBA to the name I originally incorporated) How do I do that?? 

ASAP after the client became incorporated we assisted and guided the client in:

-Introducing them to a bank that specializes in assisting small business owners and a banker with the responsibility, authority and customer service mind to assist both short and long term.

-Advising of the requirements of the new business to have a business license.

-Confirming the entrepreneur’s responsibility to pay the annual registration to the GA Secretary of State’s office.

-Referring Insurance Representatives/Agents who are familiar with the needs of small business owners and an agent who specializes in medical, life, disability and dental coverage.

-Referring to a small business attorney to assist with the legal registering of a DBA or Georgia or national trademark registration. To visit the GA Secretary of State Web-site visit www.sos.georgia.gov/corporations/
