Fitness Business Entity

Hello,

I am looking to start my own fitness boot camp in Texas. I am ready to roll but have questions on legal issues. I have been told that I need to set myself up as an llc due to the liability issues involved. I was also ready to head down to the local tax office to get my business license and fill out a dba(doing business as) but I thought I read on the internet that these steps are included when setting up the llc. Where would I go to have all of these issues handled....fitness attourney like yourself, accountant?

Would love to hear from you.

Thanks.

In terms of liability protection, a corporation and an LLC are very similar. The choice between an LLC and corporation should be selected carefully as you want to make sure you have the appropriate entity moving forward. Find a lawyer (such as myself) who has experience with fitness businesses in forming your business entity. You cannot obtain a d/b/a until after your business entity has been created. If you are advised to do business as a corporation (as most of my clients do), then you will need to make a tax election between an s-corp or a c-corp. Feel free to contact me if you like more information.
