True or false: many entrepreneurs go into business in order to spend months on red tape and administration. That is a trick question and too often this statement is true and false. Even though dealing with red tape is not their intent, it becomes the reality. The types of tasks range from the simple and mundane – think setting up a computer and Wi-Fi, securing workspace and insurance, – to the complex and exceptional – filing corporate formation documents, pulling business licenses, setting up an initial public offering. If you are a sole proprietor, you will be making the decisions alone. If you are a partner in a partnership, there will be a process, casual or formal, for making decisions and deciding who executes them (which may add more drag than efficiency, early on). All of this can be both exciting and intimidating.
