Licensing and Paperwork
Starting a new business can be an exciting venture, but it also requires a significant amount of paperwork and legal filings with various government agencies. The types of government paperwork that must be filed for new businesses will depend on the structure of the business and the industry in which it operates.
How to Register a Business? The paperwork required to register a business may vary depending on the location and type of business you are starting. However, here are some general documents you may need:
Business registration application: This document includes the details of your business, such as the name, legal structure, address, and contact information.
Articles of incorporation: If you are registering a corporation, you will need to file articles of incorporation with the state.
Operating agreement: If you are forming an LLC, you will need an operating agreement that outlines the ownership and management structure of the business.
Employer Identification Number (EIN): You will need to obtain an EIN from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to identify your business for tax purposes.
Business license and permits: Depending on your location and the type of business, you may need to obtain various licenses and permits, such as a business license, zoning permit, health permit, etc.
Partnership agreement: If you are forming a partnership, you will need a partnership agreement that outlines the roles and responsibilities of each partner.
Trademark registration: If you want to protect your business name or logo, you may consider registering a trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
How to form an LLC or Small Business? It can be overwhelming to navigate the maze of paperwork and regulations, but AK Assists can help new business owners with the necessary filings to ensure they are in compliance and can focus on growing their businesses.

Competitor analysis is the process of identifying and evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of competitors within an industry. It involves researching the products, services, marketing strategies, and market position of other businesses that are similar to yours. By conducting a thorough competitor analysis, businesses can gain insight into their competitors' tactics, identify opportunities for improvement, and make informed decisions to stay ahead of the competition. At AK Assists, we offer competitor analysis services to help businesses better understand their competition and make strategic decisions to grow and succeed.
Financial Projections
Financial projections refer to the process of estimating and forecasting the financial performance of a business over a future period. This process involves analyzing historical financial data, market trends, and other relevant factors to develop assumptions and projections for future revenue, expenses, and cash flows. Financial projections are important for businesses as they help to guide decision-making, identify potential risks and opportunities, and secure funding. AK Assists provides expert financial analysis and projection services to help businesses plan for the future and achieve their financial goals.
Account Creations
After legally establishing your new business or organization, you'll need to set up several types of accounts to manage your finances, marketing, and online presence. What accounts should you set up as a New Business? Here are some to take into consideration:
Financial Accounts: As mentioned earlier, you'll need a business checking account, a business savings account, a credit card account, a merchant account, and a payroll account if you have employees.
Social Media Accounts: Social media is a powerful tool for marketing and promoting your business. You should set up accounts on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram, depending on your target audience.
Advertising Accounts: If you plan to run online ads for your business, you'll need to set up accounts on advertising platforms such as Google Ads and Facebook Ads. These accounts will allow you to create and manage your ads, set budgets, and track performance.
Email Accounts: You should set up a business email account to communicate with your customers, vendors, and partners. A professional email address will help establish credibility for your business.
Website Accounts: If you have a business website, you'll need to set up accounts with a web hosting provider and a domain registrar to manage your website's hosting and domain name.
By setting up these accounts, you can effectively manage your finances, marketing, and online presence, which are essential for the success of your business. AK assists can help you set up these accounts and provide guidance on how to effectively manage them.
