How to start a small business in NC?
-
I graduated from a two-year community college and can't find a job. I think about opening a small business that I could run at home. Could you please let me know how to start a small business? What do I need to do first? Do I have to get a tax ID or business license, and then incorporate? What is the best legal entity to form to start a small business? And what is the best business to start now? So far I have $2,000 to start with? Student. Thank you very much in advance. NC, Raleigh.

I'm selling my business in one of the mall in N. Virginia for $15,000. Profit: $1,300/m. Just to open a business would need to invest 20K at least.

be a pet sitter. You will make about 30-40k a year or if you hire people, you will make much much more. It is easy...there are all kinds of online instructions and memberships you can buy to help you with it and the start up cost will be between 1000-2000. It is also very recession proof and there is a HUGE demand. There are not nearly enough pet sitters in my town. They are all too busy and cannot take new business. Oh, you will definately need a business license from your county and city and it is not that expensive. You can just register as a sole propietorship adn then incorporate later (around $200) if you hire people. You can get a tax ID but it is not necessary. It will be necessary only if you need to open a bank account in your companies name. It is free to get a tax ID number.
