While you might not have been “active” throughout the year, by filing a “no activity” return you may be throwing away potential deductions!  Most businesses (even unprofitable ones) will have some form of expenses – think tax prep fees, taxes, filing fees, home office, phone, etc.  Don’t miss out on your chance to preserve these valuable deductions.  You can carry these forward to more profitable years by using the Net Operating Loss Carry-forward rules.  But you must report them to take advantage of this break. If you honestly did not have any expenses or income during the tax year, simply file form 1120 by the due date (no later than 2 and one half months after the close of the business tax year – March 15 for calendar year businesses).  Complete sections A-E on the front page of the return and make sure you sign the bottom – that’s it!

From a legal business entity standpoint, one does not normally have to file any forms with the state the business is located in to be considered a sole proprietor (SP). However, this highly unadvisable since a SP provides no liability protection.The most popular, and most advisable business entities are a Limited Liability Company (LLC) and a Corporation. These entities are state created entities meaning that you must file the necessary paperwork in the state where you will have the business headquarters. The state’s secretary of state’s office will have all the necessary documents, forms, and rules needed to create the entity of your choice. You will also have to pay a filing fee.It is important that you further discuss the issue with experienced counsel as they will be able to help you decide which entity is best for you, and help you with the filing.

The short answer is no, however I would recommend that you do get yourself an LLC. A Limited Liability Corporation is very inexpensive and easy to get and will protect you in case of any sort of legal issue.In short if someone were to take legal action against you due to say defamation or creative license issues the LLC would help protect monies you make from your regular job or your personal belongings.Filling out the paperwork isn’t difficult and costs under $50 last I checked but if you don’t feel comfortable doing it yourself you can find several companies online (just google “get an llc”) that will do it for a fee of about $99 plus the fee for the LLC.

It depends on where you're based: not only do different countries have different paperwork, but so do different states, counties and even cities. There are some places where you can start a new business without filling out any paperwork (although you'll likely have to deal with tax forms and the like after you've been in business for a while.There are some common forms that you should check on whether you need for your area:Business licenseProfessional license — In addition to a license for operating a business, certain professions are licensed.DBA / Doing business as — If you're doing business under a name other than your own, such as a company name, you may need to file a DBA.Incorporation or organizational documents — Depending on how you organize your business, you may need to file paperwork to incorporate.Tax registration — You will usually need to register with your local state if you're collecting sales tax. You will also probably need to complete paperwork to get a taxpayer identification number or an equivalent for your business.Employee forms — If you have employees, there can be quite a bit of paperwork, including their tax paperwork and any appropriate registration.These really are just a starting point. One of the best things you can do is find a local accountant or other professional to advise you on what you need.

Hey! Here's what I recommend to small business owners:Decide if you want debt financing, equity financing, friends and family financing, or crowdfunding. James provides some good advice on crowdfunding below. Crowdfunding can take a lot of time and is a bit saturated. For the right businesses (in my opinion product-based businesses do best) it makes sense. Equity financing is also tough, but works great for startups--companies that intend to become quite large. Friends and family are a popular choice, but may not be an option, or if it they are, keep in mind the cons. Borrowing from those closest to you can be tough. That leaves debt financing--which is what you referenced specifically. It's a pretty solid choice, assuming your business is producing the funds to pay it off. Here's a good workflow:1. Start at your local bank. Bank loans have the lowest-rates, and if you can qualify for a bank loan, you should get a bank loan. The only time this wouldn't be the case is if you need the funds fast. Bank loans can take sometime to process. So, go with the bank. If you are denied, or need cash fast, your next best bet is to go online.2. Be careful when you shop for loans online. There's a lot of great lenders out there, and some not-so great. Read reviews. Do your research. But most importantly, SHOP!  Unless you qualify for an SBA loan out of the gate, shop. I work for a company that operates as a marketplace for small business loans, so I obviously strongly believe in the value of shopping. But, the reason being is that some of the best and most popular online lenders offer loans that are pretty expensive (especially in the short-term loan category). These can be great options for the right business owners. But, if you can qualify for something cheaper, like an SBA loan or a longer-term loan, that's the product you should be taking. 3. The factors that are going to influence your offers the most will be your personal credit score, your business's revenue, your cash flow, and the age of your business (your options are best once your 2+ years in age). If you know you're less than stellar in one of these categories, this could affect your rates. I think it's good to have your expectations set going in.4. A few "good to knows" are that it is hard to qualify for a loan amount greater than 15% of your annual revenue and that usually, the length of a loan application represents the rates the lender offers. If all it takes to apply are 3 months bank statements, you're looking at a more expensive product. If you have to submit a decent amount of financials, from tax returns to P&Ls to Balance Sheets and more, then you're probably looking at a lower-cost product.5. Last bit of advice I'd give is to always ask what the APR is. This is the best way to compare different loan products. And, always ask the prepayment terms, in case you decide to pay the loan off early.I'm happy to answer follow up questions if you have a specific obstacle you're dealing with such as time in business, your personal credit score, etc. If you're wanting more info, I also put together this gigantic checklist for any business owner considering financing.
