What to expect from the New Business Assessment
The decisions you make when starting your business can come back to haunt you later. When you don’t understand all your options, you might choose a path which makes it difficult to get started without stress, leaves you open to liability, or costs you more not only in taxes but in time, energy and resources.
​
Corporate Minutes, Inc. helps you map out a smooth startup journey that saves money and avoids obstacles.
First, we’ll assess your vision and chart a course to get you from where you are to where you want to go.
​
Next, we’ll outfit you for your journey and guide you through the various paths you need to take and requirements you need to meet. CMI is your link to the various agencies with which you need to register and works with your other professional advisors to make sure every angle is covered.
Finally, we track the progress of your filings, teaching you about the process and choices you have along the way.
