Two or more people in business together are one already. We set up the rest.

## What we do

- DBA (doing business as) $99
- EIN from the IRS $70
- Business license research $99
- Partnership agreement $99

[Set it up for $367](https://joinopenfile.com/existing?type=gp&services=dba,ein,licenses,agreement)

Plus the state or county DBA fee.

## What the state needs

- No state filing to form it
- A DBA unless the name is all the partners' surnames
- Licenses where your work needs them

## Want protection?

Every partner is personally liable for the partnership's debts. An LLP or LLC limits that.
