What is the name of your state? MA
What are the absolute first legal steps in starting a business? Registering name (and how many states do you have to register it in so others don't copy your business/invention in another state)? Own URL? Let IRS know about your buisiness? Incorporate? If your business centers around your invention, do you get a patent or trademark first? Get disclousre forms so you can "share" your ideas with needed people, such as lawyers, wholesalers, distributors, etc.? I am afraid to make a move.
Thank you.
