Hi entrepreneurs! I would like to know what are the steps to open a company here in USA.
Some people that I talked recommended me to pay a lawyer but always there's a way to do it by yourself. =)
I heard to that Delaware it's the best State.
ps: I'm from Brazil.
Has anyone helped you with this?
I have started several entities in the USA and currently work for a startup that just raised $4m. I don't know everything about the legal system, but never paid a lawyer and have done pretty well!
You'll want to consider:
- Type of entity
- Domicile
- Are you providing services or products, physical or online?
Answers to the questions will have different ramifications such as you will still have to pay Federal taxes and taxes in states where you sell, but may avoid additional taxes from Delaware-based actions.
Happy to help if I can.
