Resources for New Business Owners

Most new and aspiring business owners are looking for direction but don’t quite know where to turn. On top of lead generation, prospect nurturing, customer service, the service itself and perhaps managing a team, knowing what to do, where to go or who to rely on for some of the more mundane aspects of the business is still just as important as everything else. We’ve compiled a list of our most helpful resources for you to try.

Northwest Registered Agent

More than just a registered agent service, Northwest Registered Agent is at the top of our list for protecting privacy, saving time and preventing headaches.

Hiring a registered agent is not always required, but is a good idea regardless because it maintains compliance with the requirements of an appointed registered agent and conceals your home address. Northwest Registered Agent also knows exactly where you’re legally obligated to provide your name – and where you’re not. So if limiting the amount of personal information that shows up on permanent public records is important to you, this is probably the first service you’ll want to sign up for.

Forming a new LLC or corporation is also not impossible to do on your own, but it’s an easier, more pleasant experience when your questions can be answered by corporate guides and their lawyers, paralegals, accountants, and field experts make sure the paperwork is done for you each year so you can focus on the rest of your life.

Relay Financial

Relay Financial is actually a newer part of an existing bank that’s been around since 1925. Evolve Bank & Trust launched Relay, its FDIC insured no-fee banking for small business, with simplicity in mind and we truly appreciate the time and paperwork it saves.

Best for online businesses that don’t deal in cash, Relay is a simple, straightforward, no-frills online banking service that looks nice and works well. Their website and mobile app are intuitively easy to understand and do what they’re supposed to. Issue virtual credit cards to your team instantly and grant limited access for your bookkeeper without sharing any passwords.
