Everything you need to know to start your business in Arizona
Choosing the best business structure for your startup can be a very confusing process. In this post we will introduce you to all the business structures available in Arizona and give you step-by-step instructions for establishing each of them.
Startup ecosystem in Arizona
Before launching a business in any location, it's important to have an understanding of its startup ecosystem. Let's have a look at some important startup statistics in Arizona:
Planning your business in Arizona
Your first step should be to verify the demand for your business idea with effective market research . Once that's done, the next step is to create a solid business plan.
A business plan logically lays out your plan for establishing your startup, and it also makes your venture very appealing to potential investors!
A typical business plan is comprised of the following components:
Value proposition
Market opportunity
Target market
Competitor analysis
Funding required
Sales and marketing
Financial projections
Milestones
Your team
Thankfully, we've written an in-depth guide to crafting a winning business plan .
Structuring and registering your business in Arizona
There are 6 main business structures, and all are applicable to both brick and mortar businesses and e-commerce businesses:
Sole Proprietorships
Partnerships
C-Corporation
S-Corporation
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Nonprofit
If you're uncertain about which structure best suits you, read our in-depth guide on structuring your business for success.
General procedures for all business types in Arizona
The following key steps need to be completed regardless of which business structure you choose:
Get your EIN
Sole Proprietors and Partnerships that don't plan on hiring employees do not need an Employer Identification Number (EIN), but it's still wise to get one in case you do bring on employees in the future.
All other business structures must get an EIN in order to register their business.
You can apply for an EIN online , or download the form and mail it to:
Internal Revenue Service
Attn: EIN Operation
Cincinnati, OH 45999
Register a business name with the state of Arizona
If you want to give your business a unique name that is different to your own full name, you will need to register it with the State of Arizona.
Before registering a business name, you should check its availability .
Get your licenses and zoning permits
Certain businesses in Arizona require a special license to operate. To check if your business type requires a license,, search for your business type on the Arizona Department of Revenue website.
The location of your business may also restrict business activities. This may especially be the case if you plan to run a home-based business. Contact your local Arizona county's office to find out whether you need to apply for a zoning permit.
More details on business licenses and zoning permits can be found on the U.S Small Business Administration website .
Open business banking accounts
This isn't necessarily a requirement, but highly recommended to keep business transactions separate from personal transactions.
Submit New Hire Reports
It's both a Federal and Arizona state requirement for all employers to report new hires to both the Arizona New Hire Reporting Center and the IRS .
File a business annual report in Arizona
The following business structures in Arizona need to file an annual report to the Secretary of State to ensure their contact details are kept up to date:
Tax details for all businesses in Arizona
All businesses in Arizona must register with the Arizona Department of Revenue to file their State Tax documents and register for State taxes.
You can find up-to-date tax information for all business structures on the Arizona Department of Revenue website as well as on the IRS website .
It is important for you to submit all state and federal tax filings in a timely manner. Failure to submit on multiple occasions may result in the automatic dissolution of your business.
Domestic vs Foreign business in Arizona
To make sure you are accessing the correct business setup forms, it's important to understand the distinction between a domestic and foreign business in Arizona
A business in Arizona is classified as a domestic if it is headquartered within the state. Foreign businesses, on the other hand, are headquartered outside of Arizona.
Now let's discuss the processes of establishing each individual business structure.
How to start a Sole Proprietorship in Arizona
Most Solopreneurs in Arizona launch their business as a Sole Proprietorship due to its simplicity of set up and cost effectiveness. You're always free to upgrade to a more advanced business structure (such as an LLC or Corporation) at any time as your business grows.
If your business solution poses any level of financial risk to your clients, it is better for you to settle with a business structure that offers a higher level of personal asset protection, such as an LLC or Corporation.
If you've already completed all the general steps for launching a business in Arizona there's nothing more you need to do to register your Sole Proprietorship.
