Small business
Everything it takes to start and operate a business.
Forming the entity is the easy part. What follows is a stream of registrations, filings, payroll obligations, and deadlines that no one hands you a list for. BKS runs that list, from formation through every year after.
What we hear
If any of this sounds familiar
These are the situations businesses in this position actually describe when they call.
- Formed an LLC and never registered for anything else
- A state notice arrived and it is not clear what it wants
- The first employee is starting and payroll is not set up
- Books that exist only as a bank statement and a shoebox
The order
What happens, in what sequence
Doing these out of order is how businesses pay twice. This is the path BKS runs.
- 1
Start
Entity formation, EIN, registered agent, and the state and local registrations a new business needs before it can operate.
- 2
Set up
A chart of accounts, bank feeds, invoicing, and a document home, so the business is recording itself from the first month.
- 3
Operate
Payroll when you hire, contractor reporting when you do not, invoicing and payments so revenue actually lands.
- 4
Stay compliant
Annual reports, sales tax, payroll returns, and the entity renewals that quietly lapse, calendared with an owner.
