The process for registering your business depends on the entity type you choose, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, or LLC. Each has different filing requirements and fees set by the state. For example, to register a corporation you typically need to file articles of incorporation and pay an incorporation tax or fee. For an LLC, you file articles of organization. Sole proprietors often just need to register a trade name. Consult your state’s business agency and be sure to follow all requirements for your desired entity type.
