    KEY TAKEAWAYS:

    • Once you’ve created your new company, you’ll want to buy your domain name, check for trademarks, and create social media handles. 
    • To take in money you will need a merchant account (such as Stripe or Square). Those will charge anywhere from 2.5-4% for a general business, if you have bad credit or you are in a high risk business, you’ll likely be charged a higher rate, sometimes up to 10-12%.
    • Even if you aren’t going to utilize all the social media channels, still set up an account with your name so it is reserved for future use and it starts to establish the history for a business. You don’t want to have different names for your company across different platforms.
