A recent report reveals that Silicon Valley venture capitalist confidence regarding investment prospects is up.

For the many entrepreneurs considering business formation this year, it might be wise to remember that an uncle who is in business might not be your strongest co-founder. According to Business Insider, a weak founding team is one of the leading causes of failure for new companies. Undergoing business formation requires start up capital that some entrepreneurs worry will be hard to find in trying times.

If there's a way for scam artists to get money, they'll no doubt dream it up. One scam targets small business owners who have formed an LLC, or limited liability company, and attempts to get them to pay a bogus fee. If you have an LLC or Corporation and you do business out of state, you probably will have to qualify as a "foreign" company before any money changes hands. We don't mean "foreign" as in a company located in another country. In this case it simply means you are doing business in a state other than the one in which your LLC was originally formed. 09/29/09
