Starting a Legit Label

[rap4rights]

I am looking into starting my own legit company where we will release albums as well as books ( poetry, auto-biographies, ect). I've heard the official process can be ver costly. Who can give me some step by step directions on what exactly I need to do to make my company legit and operating. I wnat to be a record/publishing company. for all the kats here doin' it legit with papers from the state of Cali, or wherever your from, please post some information and insight here. I'm sure there are other ppl here lookin to do the same things. Any info would help

Peace

Go down to City Hall. Open both your label and publishing together its cheaper. Make both a limited liability biz so they cant come after personal assets if shit goes bad. Then publish your name in a news paper. This has to be done in order to prove you are the owner of both companies. Register your publishing with ascap or bmi. Pay your taxes yearly and your strait.
