What Documents Do You Need to Start a Business? Beyond thinking of a name, there are several important steps you need to do before starting a business. Here are the documents you will need. Before opening any business, it's vital that you know which documents you need. Establishing the organization and obtaining the proper federal and state permits, identification numbers and licenses is a fundamental part of the process to prevent tax penalties, hefty fines or even cease and desist orders to close the business until all guidelines are complied with. Business Entity Registration. Registering your business entity is one of the first things new business owners must do.

There are several ways to register a business that each have different liability and tax pros and cons: corporation, limited liability company, partnership or sole proprietorship. Speak with a tax adviser before you create your organization to make sure you are using the most advantageous design. To register, you must file a business registration with the secretary of state or county registrar.

Tax Identification Number. Sole proprietorship organizations and partnerships use the Social Security Number of the owners as the tax identification number for the organization. C- corporations and limited liability companies must have a federal tax identification number which can be obtained by filing an SS- 4 Form with the IRS. Some states such as Texas require franchise, sales and unemployment tax fees paid under the federal employer identification number filed with the Texas Secretary of State. Permits. Permits are required for specific types of businesses such as restaurants, bars, firearm sales or even florists. Many states offer web portals to help search for the permits required for your business and where to file the correct forms.

You will need to have your business entity already established and obtain your tax identification number prior to filing for permits. Licenses. It is important that the business or those working for it have the proper licenses to conduct business. Licenses may be required by the federal, state or municipal governments, depending on the business you are operating and which jurisdiction you plan to work in.

Industries such as insurance and financial services require state and federal registration and licensing. For this sector, a business and its respective sales force would need to obtain a life insurance agent or Securities and Exchange Commission licensing prior to conducting business. Contact the secretary of state to confirm what licenses are required for your industry. The US Small Business Administration website has a portal leading you to all of the federal and state websites for license requirements (see Resources).
