What kind of legal documents do I need to form a small business?
You will need to create several types of legal documents in order to form a small business. These include articles of incorporation, a business license, an employer ID number, and a tax identification number (if applicable). Additionally, you may need to register for state or local taxes, obtain workers' compensation insurance, and set up a retirement plan such as an IRA. Finally, depending on the type of business you are forming, you may also need to register with the state's department of revenue.
