Rio Salado College, in partnership with NACCE, is helping you launch your business with the Spring StartUp Sprint! Get the funds you need to get your startup launched!
Five (5) participants will be selected to join the StartUp Sprint! If selected you will set up your LLC, register your Trade Name, apply for your EIN, and apply for your Sales Tax License at no cost to you, in 30 days!
We'll reimburse the cost/fees for setting up your LLC, Trade Name registration in Arizona, your EIN number, and your Sales Tax License.
Why Are These Steps Important?
Why Are These Steps Important?
An LLC for your business provides liability protection along with many other benefits.
A Trade Name certificate from the Secretary of State means that no one else in Arizona can use your business name.
A Transaction Privilege License or Sales Tax license is a great tool to have regardless of whether or not you plan to sell taxable merchandise. You can create tax-exempt certificates allowing you to easily purchase at wholesale. When you can prove that the items you purchased are for resale or used in the manufacture of the products you intend to sell, you can buy your cost of goods sold materials tax-free. If you are selling physical products, you'll need to collect sales tax, having your license allows you to submit those taxes.
An EIN number protects your identity! You will use it instead of your social security number for business transactions.
