This section is devoted to give basic level advice to engineers of how to start his or her own consulting business. As a founder of a new firm myself, I have definitely learned a few pitfalls that hopefully you can avoid. Future discussions here will include:
- Which ownership structure is right for you (sole proprietor, limited liability corporation, S corp, etc…)
- Business License requirements
- Federal EIN
- Fictitious Business Name
- Insurance
Come back after the PE/SE tests for updated posts in this section!
