I formed a business in less than 15 minutes

I woke up this morning realizing that I’m really doing this! 🙂 I have picked up amazing consulting and contract opportunities and know that having an S-corporation, B-corporation or LLC would be good moves, but I hadn’t formalized our business approach yet. I spent a few minutes on a web site called Northwest Registered Agent reviewing all of the legal structures that made sense and created an LLC for our family. It allows us to consolidate our tax reporting, provides a federal registration number (EIN), and gives a structure so we can ‘do business as’ (DBA) a few different entities. For example, I am going to run Forged By Life as a DBA under the umbrella company JCE Weber (Jeff, Colleen and Emma Weber – our little family). Jeff is a contractor who can then put his income through the LLC, and Emma has some fascinating business ideas that could be run through the LLC.

I operated an S-Corp years ago and Jeff formed an LLC for my brother’s business, so we aren’t complete newbies around all of this. None of this is overly ‘scary’ – however, now it’s real! We are stepping into 2022 with phenomenal goals and focus. And now we are completely ‘legit’!!!!

Here’s a review of Northwest Registered Agent from Forbes Magazine that I found before using them to process our LLC: https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/services/northwest-registered-agent-review/

I’m not an expert in this, however, if you want to talk it out feel free to contact me and I’ll share what I know…

Happiest of New Starts this New Year!
