Looking for advice on registering my business

mookey

Hi.

I'm about to register my business with the state, and was wondering if anyone had advice on the best way to set it up (i.e. L.L.C., P.L.L.C., P.C. etc.) given that the business will consist of  just me as the sole proprietor. 

Thanks!

I just did this.. I am currently an LLC which is easier to file taxes from what I understand as opposed to a corporation. You will have to establish your business first then send your business letter of formation as well as your tax number to the state, all of which will be reviewed by the board. You will have a fee of 300-$500 depending on what state your are in. Then you will receive a certificate to offer architectural services. This was my experience in NJ. Good luck

Check with your state's architectural licensing board to verify what forms of incorporation are permitted for architectural firms in your state.  Some states do not permit architectural LLCs.  They may also have restrictions on what the business can be called.

If it is allowed in your home state, a single-member LLC is a very easy entity for you to set up and operate as an architectural business.
