I'm familiar with the technical side of web development, but the business side? Not at all.
I want to start a site that will be using the vB Suite, purchasing that and installing that is not an issue.
I have a domain name purchased, and a host provider paid for.
Now, some of the forums will be paid subscription only, but most will be free.
After that I am clueless.
Do I simply use a Paypal link to collect any subscription fees?
Are there pluses and minuses to certain aspects of Paypal?
On one hand I like Paypal because it seems to be simple to set up and manage, and I don't need an SSL license.
Any better alternatives?
I won't be doing this to make a living so I won't be able to spend all day and all night working on it.
I would imagine I need to get a TIN, and then open some sort of bank account for paypal to deposit into?
I am guessing I need to Incorporate and possibly trademark my .COM name/site as a business?
What else do I need to do to limit liability?
What else do I need to seriously look at? (from a business or legal standpoint)
Would I really need an Accountant or a Lawyer on retainer? Someone suggested I will. If so I won't even do this because it's not worth it.
I was looking for a decent book on the subject, didn't really find a current one, so I figured I would ask here.
Any advice or pointing me in a direction from the esteemed folks here would be great.
Thank you
