I have used Lucas to help me with multiple businesses and found his help invaluable. He has helped me start and grow businesses in the past and most recently he offered some guidance on the successful sale of my business. It was great to have someone knowledgeable in my corner.

I hired Lucus right before the pandemic and shut down, we had already started to reform my business model when the shutdown occurred, and I was in fear of losing my business, but Lucus and I worked through this time and my business actually grew. Fast forward and this year we had a record year with just over a %50 growth in business. Lucus helped me streamline my business, adjust my business plan and redefine my goals. What a great experience!

Lucas has been with us since the very start. He has always been honest and helped grow our business into what we are now. Thanks to Lucas we are not working in the entire tri-state area and have a good marketing campaign going.

Lucas has made an amazing addition to our team. Every business has a thing or two that they could improve upon; we were just fortunate enough to run into Lucas through a mutual friend, so he can help us with our needs. He is professional, and feels like a team member when we discuss business. Our consultation sessions have yielded amazing ROI thus far and I'm looking forward to even more. Something I'd like to point out is that if I have a question or need advice about something at an obscure hour, I still get a response! Thanks again, Lucas!
Starting A Business Checklist
1.) Create a Limited Liability Company (L.L.C.)
Setting up an LLC is the first step in creating a business that is an entity separate from yourself.
This offers you a layer of protection between your business and personal finances.
2.) File For Federal Tax ID Number (EIN)
Now that you have an LLC, you will need an EIN number to identify yourself to the government for taxes and other purposes.
3.) Draft An Operating Agreement
This boilerplate document outlines who owns what percentage of a company, and shows how current members can leave and now members can join.
All LLC Organizers sign and date this agreement once they are content with the terms.
Banks will often require this document to open an account.
4.) File For Applicable County/State Licenses
Most counties will require a Business License to operate.
If you are selling physical goods (as opposed to delivering a service) you will also need a Merchant License/State Sales Tax License.
5.) Set Up Business Bank Accounts
The purpose of an LLC is to show that your business is a separate entity.
You need separate business bank accounts for your business’s money.
Personal funds should never intermingle with the business account and vice versa.
6.) Business Accounting 101
At the end of the year, you will have to pay your business taxes.
Tracking as you go will make things much easier than trying to think back at year-end.
You will need a reliable way to track income and expenses.
