Get Your Business Started with a Start-Up Kit
Columbus and greater Central Ohio community is a fantastic place to start a business. There are a few different ways to own a business: as a sole proprietor, a partnership, a Limited Liability Company (LLC), a Corporation, and a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), among others. Sole proprietorships and partnerships arise automatically under the law. To put it another way, if you start doing an activity for the purpose of making money, then you've automatically formed a sole proprietorship (or a partnership if there is more than one person involved in the money making venture).You do not have to take any special action to form a business as a sole proprietor or partnership. You do have to take special action to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or Corporation. There are a large number of reasons why you would want to form a LLC or Corporation. The biggest reason is to protect yourself from liability.
