Start-Up by Numbers

Have you ever heard the term “serial entrepreneur”?

Here’s a new one for you: “parallel entrepreneur”.

While the very wealthy have often held control of several interlinked corporations at one time, the information age and the economic powerhouse of the internet has given rise to several complicated but low-investment business models that revolve around the tandem incorporation of two, three, or more separate corporate entities.

If you are one of these unique and specialized entrepreneurs, I would like to direct your attention to the following website: bizfilings.com

For one low rate, Bizfilings offers complete filing, incorporation, and registered agent packages, scalable and customizable to your unique needs.

Their pricing amazed me. Doing everything personally and cutting costs at every turn, I still doubt that an entrepreneur could save more than a scant few dollars over Bizfilings’ package prices. If you are filing outside of your own state, than there is simply no way to do it cheaper than through this service.

Now, for a standard model entrepreneur opening your first business, I still recommend doing it yourself. The lessons you will learn about dealing with the state and federal government, about tax structures, articles of incorporation, and business accountancy are invaluable. Yet if you are a serial entrepreneur opening your second, third, or fourth business, or if you are assembling one of those clever webs of online enterprises, this service will save you many dollars and, more vital still, precious hours and days.

I will certainly be using the service from now on.
