Register a New Business in Puerto Rico with the Accounting Support You Need

Now is an excellent time to register a new business in Puerto Rico. The territory is doing everything possible to encourage investment and small business support, and setting up shop is easier than ever. That said, new business owners should do everything they can to organize payroll and tax obligations before needing to report. Here’s what you should know.

 

What You Need to Know About SC 4809

Form SC 4809 is required for everyone trying to register a new business in Puerto Rico. The form is very straightforward. Business owners will need to provide personal information, the type of organization you plan to start, past income tax filing dates, and the type of withholding you plan to utilize. It takes just a few minutes and is likely the easiest part of the business-starting process. You can find a copy of the form here.

Now is the Best Time to Invest in Software

When you register a new business in Puerto Rico, you want to start off on the right foot. That means instituting a record-keeping and accounting process as early as possible, even before breaking even on your initial investment. When you start a business with an organizational plan in place, everything – payroll, annual reporting, and data storage – is easier.

If you’re about to register a new business in Puerto Rico, the first tool you should invest in is payroll software. Not just any payroll program, though. You’ll need a tool that encompasses several aspects of your accounting. This is exactly what AMS Payroll can do for you, and the low price point makes this an excellent option for businesses just starting out.
