Setting Up A New Business
(What You Need To Know)

Most small businesses struggle with setting up and paying taxes sales tax and Payroll taxes.  If not setup correctly you will risk getting fined and even worse closed down.  On January 29, 2026 we had Mr. Nicholas Goosby & Ms. Sierra Shirah of the Alabama Department of Revenue Sales and Tax Division in the Dothan Taxpayer Service Center come and bless us with information to help us start and grow our business the right way.  The event was held at the Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce, located at 102 Jamestown Blvd, Dothan, AL 36301. 

Mr. Goolsby and Ms. Sierra Shirah touched on topics including the following:

  • Common types of businesses and entities
  • Things to Consider When Starting a New Business
  • Sales, Use, Lodgings, and Rental Taxes
  • Sales Tax
  • Filing Requirements
  • Alabama Tax License

And much more.
