Essential Business Resources
Starting and maintaining a business can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to simplify the process. Below are some of the key components you’ll need to establish your business:
D-U-N-S Number: A Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S) number is essential for establishing your business’s credibility and accessing opportunities like government contracts and corporate partnerships.
Employer Identification Number (EIN): This federal tax ID, issued by the IRS, is necessary for filing taxes, hiring employees, and opening a business bank account.
Business Credit: Building business credit is crucial for securing loans, improving cash flow, and gaining favorable terms with vendors.
Tax-Exempt Status for Non-Profits
If you’re operating as a non-profit organization, obtaining tax-exempt status can help you save money and focus on your mission. We assist with the application process and help ensure you meet state and federal requirements.
State Tax Approval for Collecting Taxes: If your business is required to collect taxes, you’ll need approval from your state. We help navigate the process to ensure compliance with state regulations.
Employer Registration: If you plan to hire employees, you’ll need to register as an employer with your state and obtain a state employer identification number. Our team is here to guide you through the steps and simplify the process.
Trade Names and Trademarks: Protecting your business identity is crucial. We assist with:
Registering your trade name (also known as a “doing business as” or DBA name) to ensure legal use of your business name.
Filing trademark applications to protect your brand’s logo, name, or slogan at the state and federal levels.
Ensuring your intellectual property rights are safeguarded, allowing you to build a strong brand.
