Build Your Business

Starting a Business from Scratch?

Here are some steps you’ll need to take along the way:

Step One: Register your Business

Decide on a business name and the structure of your company – sole proprietorship, LLC, Inc, or something else. Once you’ve done this, you can register your company name for free with the Pennsylvania State Department, and apply for a tax ID with the IRS.

Step Two: Create a Tax Structure

Don’t let unanticipated tax bills delay your growth. A useful step here is to go to business.pa.gov, which contains valuable instructions for creating a tax payment structure based on the location of your company and the kind of service it provides.

What to Do Next

Monroe County has a lot to offer a start-up enterprise. There’s not just startup money to be had, there are many connections to be made as well.

The Greater Pocono Chamber of Commerce, plus a number of independent business associations, all set up shop here and provide considerable networking opportunities. You’re also close enough to tap into the business connections available in New York City and Philadelphia. No matter what you choose, Monroe County represents a rich medium for growth.
