What legal information do I need for my startup business?
I am starting an online service to match those in need of residential services with the contractors who actually do the work. The service is free for the homeowners in need of service, and the leads that go to the contractors are charged at 5-10 dollars per lead. The website consist of a form where the user enters personal information about their home and their project requirements. I do have an SSL certificate in place on my server to protect peoples’ personal information.
What legal documentation is necessary for a business like the one described above?
You will need to file with your state to collect sales tax on in-state sales and get a "doing business as" certificate. If you want to incorporate you will have to take care of that, but it is not necessary or important right now.
