Starting a business?  Consulting an attorney, bank, and CPA is always a good idea.  That's not to say you can't do things yourself.  While this is not legal advice, here are a few things you can research on you own.

At the Federal and State levels, you'll need:

bulletA Federal Form SS4 whenever you have employees so you can apply for an employer identification number (EIN).  If it's just you in the business, you can use your social security number.
bulletA State Fictitious Name form DSCBi 54-311 if your last name is not in the "title" of your business. DSCB- 54-311
bulletA form PA100 to apply for a sales tax number.... PA-100.pdf
bulletIf renting an existing structure, always ask to see the Labor and Industry permit.  Make sure it is "up to standards" for your classification of business--especially if it's a change of use.  L&I is concerned with the safety of you and your workers.  It is entirely possible that your building has higher safety standards than required for your classification.  That's OK.  But if your classification requires smoke detectors, emergency lighting...and they're not already installed, be prepared to upgrade the facility.  L&I is located at Room 1600, 7th & Foster Streets, Harrisburg PA  17120.  (717)787-3323  Corporations: Important Phone Numbers

If you own or would like to purchase a property for your business, make sure to do a Phase I Environmental Assessment, which will provide some protection against lawsuits for the cleanup of past contamination.  It may also be helpful to know about County offices that can assist you in various matters:

bullet Assessment
bulletEmergency Management Agency Preparation for Emergencies (HazMat); Terrorism
bulletPlanning- Building, Sign & Occupancy Permits
bullet Recorder of Deeds
bullet Register of Wills
bulletTax Claim Bureau
bullet Veterans Affairs
