What legal Documents will I need to start a clothing company?

If you want to incorporate or form an LLC or other business entity, you will need to file documents with the PA Department to form your company. You may also need to register a ficitious name if you want to operate your business under a name other than your own. There may be local business licenses or permits that you are required to obtain as well.

In addition to forming the corporation with the Corporation Bureau in Harrisburg, for example, with a regular corporation, you will have to set up your by-laws and minutes, issue stock certificates for any contribution to the corporation, get an EIN for the corporation, register with PA Department of Revenue, Department of Labor, Philadelphia, etc. If you form an S coporation or LLC some of these items will be a little different.

Hope this helps.
