Question
I want to make my own company name & incorporate it. Please advise me what I should do.?
I have a full time job, but I know that I will run my own company one day (hopefully soon) and will actively do more work on the side as the economy gets better. In the meanwhile, I'm getting the impression that it's to my advantage to legally open a company (meaning incorporate the name and maybe get a business bank account / credit card). What's the best legal way to do this? Should I even bother with this? If yes, what's the best & easiest way (online) to legalize my company name? Should I do 'Me & Associates, Inc.','Inc.', 'LLC', 'Corp', etc.? Which is the best knowing that I may have zero income to report for the next 1-2 years as I have a full-time job? I just feel like if I had a corporation in my name, it could only be good for me. I know that there's some extra tax work, but I guess I'll worry about that with my new TurboTax that I buy in 2010. Any advice is appreciated. Also, any websites that do all the legal work FOR YOU so I can use my company name, Inc., or whichever is best to file as. Thanks.

I was where you are, wanting to set up and run my own business, and confused by the legal issues setting it up. Once I figured out 1) for small business, an LLC is generally best, and 2) setting one up is not that hard once you figure it out, that became my business! I started www.My.LLC.biz which will create your LLC for you. Take a look.
