015: Post Incorporation Action Items - a podcast by Hannah Genton

We get a lot of recurring questions on what to do post-incorporation. While the work we do to set up our businesses and incorporate them is extremely important, there is still much to do afterward. For those of you who are confused or lost in this area, today’s episode will be very helpful. 

 

In this episode, I speak with one of our corporate counsel here at CGL, Danielle Simmons. Her practice focuses on general corporate governance, venture financing, and mergers and acquisitions. In our conversation, we address all of the post-incorporation action items founders need to take into consideration and put into practice.

 

If you have ever sent us a question on this topic or even wondered what must be done post-incorporation in your business, tune in to learn all about it today. 

 

In this episode, you will hear:

• A bit of context on what the incorporation process entails.
• The legal side of post-incorporation action items.
• Tax considerations during the post-incorporation process.
• How to navigate everything that goes into employee identification numbers, insurance, and other general corporate governance items.
• Why it is so important to open a separate business bank account. 
• How founders should think about consultants post-incorporation.
• The benefits of creating business contracts and commercial agreements right from the beginning.
• How to best generate your business forms.
• Why you should bring someone onto your team who is sophisticated in finance and tax and who understands your business as early as possible.
