Webspace Creations Business Services

As your business grows, you may need additional services that we do not directly provide. Based upon our own experiences and those of our clients and peers, here are our recommendations:

• Business Formation
• Toll-Free Number
• Automated Mailing List

Business Formation

There are a number of advantages to forming a business entity, rather than operating as a sole proprietor or partnership. The biggest advantage to forming a corporation or LLC is protection of personal assets. The first step you take should be determining the state in which you will incorporate. Incorporating outside your state will require a registered agent, so if your state is favorable to business, it will probably make sense to incorporate in your state. States that are notorious for having a favorable business environment are Delaware and Nevada, which make them good options if your state has an unfavorable business environment. Nolo Press offers some very useful publications related to incorporation and LLC formation and even includes a publication specific to choosing an LLC versus a corporation. You should also make sure that your desired business name is not already taken. We recommend checking with the Secretary of State's office in the state you intend to do business and the state you intend to form your business entity. Once you are ready, we recommend The Company Corporation for handling all of your business formation needs.

Toll-Free Number

Obtaining a toll-free number is simple and inexpensive thanks to Ring Central. Toll-free service starts as low as $9.99 per month and includes 100 minutes! Your toll-free number rings through to your regular phone, so there is no additional equipment to buy or software to install. A benefit to site owners is that you can use the service to host a call button on your website. This allows your website visitors to connect to you without even dialing your telephone number.

Mailing List

A mailing list can be a crucial piece in a successful marketing strategy. Although you can use any e-mail program to send a marketing piece to a large list of recipients, a hosted solution offers a number of advantages including: automated opt-in/ opt-out functionality, compliance with CAN-SPAM legislation, delivery statistics, message personalization, and more. Constant Contact is an established provider with a good track record in this market and offers a 60 Day Free Trial. Another provider that our clients are happy with is iContact, which offers some unique mailing list features at a lower pricepoint.
