Hunting DVD legal question
 

This may not be the best place to ask this, but I thought I could get the most info here.

My question is-
My friend and I are making a hunting DVD to sell, and I was wondering if I had to register our "business" or anything else to be legal. I don't know anything about this type of thing, so I thought I would ask you guys.

Thanks,

My opinion is if you are going to do anything for to make money you had better cover your butt. That means checking the names, registering the business w/ your state, etc.

Ok, thanks guys. I have a friend that is a CPA, so I will give him a call and talk to him too. Any info that Todd can give me will be appreciated too!!!!

Yeah - if you intend on selling anything you must make sure you are set-up to do so. This also allows you to write off related expenses with in this business is critical. We're an LLC, and generally it requires little cost to set one up - so I'd recommend checking into it.

Good luck!

Depending on the state - an LLC. costs anywhere between $25.00 and $75.00 to set-up. People don't realize how easy and cheap it really is!
