Step 1: Business entity and registration

Conduct research to answer the following questions:

In which county, state, and country will your business be located, and why? Please do not default to your physical location. Think about tax laws and ease of doing business in the selected location.

What type of business entity will you select, and why? Think about the complexity of required paperwork, taxation, and insurance.

What are the rules and regulations for starting a new business for your selected entity type? Remember that requirements vary by location.

• Will you register your trademark? Why or why not? If yes, what are the costs associated with trademark registration?
• Step 2: Start-up costs
• Refer to the module content, and list all the expenses you expect to pay in the first six months.
