Figuring out the rules for starting a business in North Carolina can feel overwhelming—and sometimes advice from friends or websites isn’t entirely accurate. In this workshop, we’ll break down the state, local, and federal requirements you need to know and connect you with reliable resources North Carolina offers to help you succeed.

Topics Covered:

I have an EIN—what’s next?

What’s the difference between a DBA, Sole Proprietorship, LLC, Corporation, and S-Corp?

How much will it cost, and how long will it take?

Where do I go to register my business?

Do I need a license or a State Tax Number?

Can I operate my business from home?

Whether you’re just getting started or double-checking that you’re on the right track, this session will give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
