Ask HN: Starting a small business I've worked in software development for a few years now and want to start my own business. I have an idea, a website/service, that I am building offline currently. When I put it under a domain I would like to have all the business parts figured out. Does that even matter? What advice can you give me from you own experience and knowledge on how to smoothly create a small business for an online company, that for the foreseeable future will have 1 employee. I've heard that I should start an LLC for myself and use that to create the online business. I don't expect to make any money in 2017 - but it's always a possibility. Thanks! |
