home online buisness

[angie...@hotmail.com]

I am looking to start a home based internet buisness and I am not sure
of what the first steps to begin are. I would also like to know
anything from the registering it as a corporation and also how to get
started with the Name and website if possible.

Hi Angie,

I would suggest that you review the basics of starting a business in
the Start Up Guide section of FloridaSmallBusiness.com. The
information under the heading "Legal Structure" will explain about
setting up a corporation, sole proprietorship or other form of
business. (There is more detail on this further down on the site under
the heading dba Florida.)

As for purchasing a web domain name, there are a large number of sites
that sell names and, in some cases, web hosting and other services.
Domain names typically cost $9.99 a year to $34.99 a year. Here are a
few:

If the name you want is not available, there are resale marketplaces
for domain names. Here's one based in Florida.
