Resources, agencies and counties · resources
What this source covers
Plan the business, compare structures, check registration, taxes, permits, insurance and hiring. The checklist contains an outdated blanket BOI instruction; use the separate current FinCEN source.
How to use it
Write down your product or service, owners, proposed name, business location and whether you plan to hire.
Limits and questions to verify
Do not use the checklist BOI paragraph as current guidance. Registration alone does not establish permission to operate.
