Preface

The Ultimate Book of Business and Legal Forms for Startups is a compilation of essential legal forms for small business owners, both new and veteran, as well as their employees whose responsibilities include the handling and/or enforcement of legal documents. Unlike any other small business legal reference guide, this book includes many custom legal forms created by practicing business attorneys who specialize in business structures, business law, legal contracts, partnerships, franchising, estate planning, and more. Each chapter addresses specific legal issues that a business owner may not see coming that can cause them problems down the road. While this book encompasses several legal topics, it is not meant to replace professional advicebut it is designed to help you identify when you will need such advice.

The legal landscape small business owners and their employees face is not the easiest to navigate, and when revenue generation is the priority, maintaining legal compliance can unintentionally fall by the wayside. Structuring and enforcing legal compliance is not an easy task. Business owners must keep up on changes in individual state laws, human resource-related policy, internet legalities, and thats just assuming the business already exists. A number of laws mandate how a business is started and operated, and compliance is mandatory. This book was researched and organized to enable a small business to be operated not only legallybut proactively.

The scope of the book covers legal issues every business owner should know from legally filing the structure of the business to establishing a culture of business ethics to protecting it should you be sued or summoned to court. The chapters include legal forms, legal worksheets, and legal reference guides that are to be used for reference and in a preventive manner. In addition, you can download and customize these forms to adhere to your specific business purposes at the website that supports this book.

CHAPTER 1

Legal Forms to Establish a Sole Proprietorship

THE GOOD NEWS ABOUT STARTING A BUSINESS solo is that there are only a few forms you need to file to get started. The sole proprietorship is essentially the simplest form of business. The definition of a sole proprietorship is that its an operation of one person in business for profit. The distinction between the sole proprietor and the business itself is that there is no distinction. This means that the sole proprietors personal assets are at risk for the debts, obligations, and judgments of the business.

To get your sole proprietorship off and running, the first thing to do is name your business and file a Fictitious Business Name Statement by registering the name of your business in the county where you do business.

This chapter provides a sample form SS-4, which provides a sole proprietor with an Employer Identification Number (EIN). Regardless of the number of businesses operated, a sole proprietor should file only one Form SS-4 and needs only one EIN. Once you receive your EIN, you can put it to use immediately. As a sole proprietor, an EIN enables you to open a bank account, apply for business licenses, and file your tax return.

When it comes time to pay taxes, sole proprietors use form 1040 just as one would to file personal income taxes. Refer to the Sample Form 1040 to view the information required by this form. In addition to Form 1040, we included Sample Form 1040 Schedule C, which must be filed to report income or loss from a business operated by a sole proprietor.

1. IRS Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number

2. IRS Form 1040 Schedule C, Profit or Loss from Business

3. IRS Form 1040, U.S. Individual Tax Return

CHAPTER 2
