However, whetherowever, you're a self-employed social media consultant or a landscaper, incorporating or forming an LLC (Limited Liability Company) must be on the top of your business strat-up checklist so you can protect your personal assets against liability and save on taxes!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The LLC is ideal for companies that don’t want or need much formality, but still want legal protection. In a corporation (S-Corp or C-Corp), Articles of Incorporation must be filed; bylaws have to be written; officers have to be named; a board of directors elected; and minutes must be filed and resolutions passed whenever you want to make changes to the company. In the LLC, this isn’t the case. LLCs just use an informal ‘operating agreement’. Depending on your particular type of business, this could either be a great time and money saver, or the gateway to potential conflict down the road.  It’s a relatively easy task to form an LLC. You can either contact your attorney or use a legal document filing service to file the necessary forms with your state’s Secretary of State.

		<description><![CDATA[Starting a business is ultimately about love. If there’s something you love to do, some product you’re passionate about, some market or customer base that you know how to solve a problem for (and you love doing it), then this powerful feeling of love can be the foundation for a new business.  So this Valentine’s Day, remember that love is not just for romance – it’s also a matter of loving what you do. If you’re thinking of starting a business, follow your passion, follow your heart, and make room for some special new love in your life!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Patents, copyrights, and trademarks, as well as know-how or trade secrets, are often collectively referred to as intellectual property. Many firms possess intellectual property without even being aware of it, or of the need to take measures to protect it. If you have formulas or processes that are specific to your business, you should take the steps to protect them. Where would Coke and Pepsi be if they hadn’t taken steps to patent their secret formulas, trademark their logos, and copyright their advertising slogans?  It’s important to realize that simply having intellectual property is not enough to ensure success. Securing a patent for your product won’t guarantee that it will be embraced by consumers. Before you spend thousands of dollars to obtain exclusive rights to your invention, do the research to make sure that it’s something the market actually wants.
