I'm new to this message board but not new to business. I had a
Homecare business previously (not web-based but an actual physical
agency), but now looking to start a web-based business selling
products online only.
My question is this - what legally has to be done to actually set up
a web-based business. (I realize about the domain name, web site set
up, hosting, but that's about it) Do you have to incorporate your
business with a DBA, get insurance (if so, where do you get
insurance), set up a business bank account, and all that I had to go
through to have my actual office based Homecare Agency?
Before getting a domain name, I'm assuming you have to go through the
entire business structure, or can you register a domain name, set up
the website and then set up the business structure.
(Seems overwhelming)
Do I have to register with my State, anything Federal? (get a
Federal ID #?). Is it a merchant account that is needed when you are
selling over the internet? Do people do all this with web-based
businesses or do you go into it as a sole-proprietorship and just
open up "shop". Also, do you use a PO box when registering your
domain name, and on your website or your actual home address.
Sorry for so many questions! But thanks in advance for any help.
