In this episode, we talk about the process of starting an LLC and share some of our mistakes and things we’ve learned along the way. We discuss how and when to hire lawyers, accountants, bookkeepers, and how to open business bank accounts, deal with quarterly taxes, and whether or not to get business insurance.

We answer:

• How did we start our LLCs?
• Do we have lawyers? Accountants?
• Do we have business insurance? Bank accounts?

We ask listeners: * What did we miss? What did we not talk about? What are other things we should talk about with respect to starting a business?
