I'm not really sure where this question belongs; however, where should I get a business license if I'm selling services (not goods) exclusively online?
I've been living overseas for quite some time now, and I'm not certain when I'll be going home. Of course, I could just set it up in my hometown, but do I have a choice?
(I'm Canadian, but I'm sure this question is just as relevant to people of other nationalities as well).

Very critical step, as I feel that a proper legal structure will help you protect your personal assets from business ventures/risks.
Also, read somewhere that having a C-Corporation will potentially allow oneself to tap into their retirement funds (IRA, 401K,SEP etc) for potential startup capital (early withdrawl)- without an IRS Penalty. There may be forms that need to be filled with IRS..Do work thru professional legal advisor.
To your success! -shra1

I started as a sole propietor just to get my business up and running. However, I am working to convert to an LLC now.
The LLC was prompted first for liability protection, but now I need the tax advantages.
New entreprenuers are more savvy today. With help from the outside, like Startupnation and the SBA, it's easier and faster to identify the need for proper legal structure.
Read everything and don't skip getting some legal help!

If you do go the route of corporation with a partner, make sure these is one that holds that extra share so when there is a standstill, it doesn't shut down the company.

I'm new to business building. I have just filed for LLC, but have a question about "members", are members considered as partners working with you or people that you hire? Please help.
