Naming your business is fun. Choosing a structure usually isn’t.

But this choice does three important jobs: it sets your liability protection, it defines your paperwork, and it affects how you’re taxed. So, let’s make it simple.

These next four episodes will focus on probably the most intimidating but necessary components of starting a business: your structure, some of the legalities, money matters like bank accounts and accounting systems, and how to know when it’s necessary to outsource some of the important services and when you can DIY.

Some of this can be confusing so I’m going to try to give this to you in plain English so you know what decisions need to be made and how to make them. One of my favorite phrases is “we don’t know what we don’t know” and it’s hard to make decisions when that happens, so let’s break it down.

Today, we’re starting with choosing your business structure.
