Yeah, I don't know about this advice. If you are by yourself, starting a company, just go register a d.b.a (doing business as) at your local courthouse. And yes, a CPA will cost you money, but it is something you must have right and is worth the cost. By having a CPA, you will avoid falling into a situation where you end up paying a fine, or have unexpected fees/taxes, or, more often than not, the CPA will actually show you how to structure/operate in a way that will SAVE you taxes and fees. If you are going into a partnership or S/C Corp with different owners, than the money spent on a lawyer as well as the CPA is very much worth it. Save yourself down the road and spend the money now to do it right.
