Just some thoughts as to what you need to consider: First you will need to decide what type of company you have. Most likely your company will be limited. This means that you own all liability for legal issues and debts, usually of the amount that you originally invested. You can start an unlimited company but it doesn't really offer any extra benefits, it just means that there is more legal risk involved. You need to choose between public and private companies. A private company would be all and only by people who started it and can be any size. A public company is one that can be traded publicly, that could be listed on the stock market. Your best bet if you are starting your own small company it sould be a limited liability company (LLC). There are legal requirements involved with starting a new company. In most countries you must be over 18 or able to enter into contracts. You also cannot be bankrupt, or have been disqualified from being a director of a company. There will also be fees included in the process while setting up your company. The fees will include getting your company name registered, taxes, a business license in some locations, be sure to check in your area or any requirements to make your business legal. Before you start any of this is a good idea to get in contact with the Small Business Administration or similar company in your country. You will want to get all the necessary forms you need to start a business. It is also a good idea to check with a lawyer for advice on any legal matters that will need to be taken care of with the kind of company you are starting. These are just few of the things you will want to check in to. Hope that helps.
