Should my business be registered as an LLC or a corporation? Do I need a state or federal tax ID number? Should I register my business name and how?
These are just a few of the questions facing those who are ready to open a small business. And the City of Anderson Economic Development office is bringing in an expert to help on Thursday, March 18, during BYOB Bring Your Own Business from Noon until 1:30 p.m.
Tyler Gilliam, a business and tax attorney for Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, will be on hand to discuss the legal requirements for small businesses during the session entitled, “Legals and Licenses: Before you dig.”
Gilliam helps companies establish and maintain effective South Carolina operations while implementing entity structures and transactions in a tax-efficient manner. In his practice, Gilliam works with clients on a range of state and local tax issues, including handling property tax appeals, securing South Carolina tax credits, and ensuring sales tax compliance.
