Not only does a business plan identify what you need to operate your company, but it also attracts financial investors.<\/p>\n<p>A business plan covers many areas. In starting a jewelry business, you&#8217;ll want to address the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What will you\u00a0<a title=\"FindLaw | Choosing a Business Name FAQ\" href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/choosing-a-business-name.html\">name your business<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>Do you need a storefront?<\/li>\n<li>Are you\u00a0<a title=\"Creating an Online Business: Legal Considerations\" href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/creating-an-online-business--legal-considerations-.html\">selling jewelry online<\/a>?<\/li>\n<li>What type of jewelry are you selling?

To set your brand apart, consider a unique name, logo, slogan, and brand colors.<\/p>\n<h3>Your Business Name<\/h3>\n<p>A critical step in defining your brand is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/choosing-your-business-name.html\" title=\"FindLaw | Choosing Your Business Name\">choosing a name for your business<\/a>. You&#8217;ll want a catchy name. Preferably, it should be a name not in use as a domain name or social media handle.<\/p>\n<p>First, check with your secretary of state&#8217;s records to see if the business name is available. Then, search the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspto.gov\/trademarks\/search\/using-trademark-electronic-search-system\" title=\"USPTO Trademark Database\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trademark Electronic Search Service (TESS)<\/a>&nbsp;database at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to check if the name already has a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/hirealawyer\/choosing-the-right-lawyer\/trademarks.html\" title=\"FindLaw | What Is a Trademark?\">trademark<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Once you know your name is available, you can register the name with your local secretary of state&#8217;s office. To do this, file a certificate of incorporation for a corporation, <a href=\"https:\/\/legalzoomcominc.pxf.io\/c\/4851649\/2115288\/26746?subId1=how-to-open-a-jewelry-store&#038;auto-aff-llc\" class=\"diy-biz-affiliate\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-cta=\"Biz Auto LZ - LATL Txt\" data-cta-url=\"legalzoom.com\" target=\"_blank\">limited liability company<\/a> (LLC), or partnership.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, you can file a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalzoomcominc.pxf.io\/c\/4851649\/2115292\/26746?subId1=how-to-open-a-jewelry-store&#038;auto-aff-dba\" class=\"diy-biz-affiliate\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-cta=\"Biz Auto LZ - LATL Txt\" data-cta-url=\"legalzoom.com\" target=\"_blank\">fictitious name<\/a> if you operate your business as a sole proprietor. The fictitious name or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/what-is-a-dba-.html\" title=\"FindLaw | What Is a DBA?\">&quot;doing business as&quot; (DBA)<\/a>&nbsp;is filed at your state, city, or county office.<\/p>\n<h3>Trademark Business Name, Logo, and Slogan<\/h3>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve selected and searched your name, protect your brand with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/intellectual-property\/registering-a-trademark.html\" title=\"A Guide to Federal Trademark Registration\">trademark registration<\/a>. A registered trademark has an &quot;\u00ae&quot; after the name. It signals to others that they can&#8217;t use this name.<\/p>\n<p>Trademark law also protects a logo or slogan you create for your business, even if you&#8217;re primarily an e-commerce store on Etsy. If you want exclusive rights to a name, logo, or slogan, register it.<\/p>\n<p>A logo is an image that uniquely identifies your business. For example, think of the Pandora name brand with a small crown over the &quot;O.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>An advertising slogan is a memorable phrase or tagline you associate with a business. For example, Jared\u00ae Jewelry&#8217;s slogan is &quot;He went to Jared.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>You apply for federal trademarks at the USPTO. An&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/lawyers.findlaw.com\/intellectual-property-law\/?fli=dcta\" title=\"Browse for a Intellectual Property &amp; Copyright Lawyer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intellectual property lawyer<\/a>&nbsp;handles trademarks, copyrights, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kqzyfj.com\/click-100799097-15070903?sid=how-to-open-a-jewelry-store&#038;auto-aff-patent\" class=\"diy-biz-affiliate\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-cta=\"Biz Auto LZ - LATL Txt\" data-cta-url=\"legalzoom.com\" target=\"_blank\">patents<\/a>. So, it&#8217;s wise to consult an attorney to safeguard your brand.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"steps-container-item\">\n                <div class=\"category-overview category-overview-item-steps\">\n                    <div class=\"category-overview-heading category-overview-heading-steps\">\n                        <div class=\"category-overview-steps\">\n                            3\n                        <\/div>\n                        <h2 class=\"category-overview-steps-title\" id=\"Choose\">Choose a Business Entity<\/h2>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"category-overview-content-steps\">\n                        <h3>Choose a Formal Business Structure<\/h3>\n<p>The next step is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/choosing-a-legal-structure.html\" title=\"FindLaw | Choosing a Legal Structure\">choosing your business structure<\/a>. You can operate your jewelry business as several legal entities.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/sole-proprietorship-advantages-and-disadvantages.html\" title=\"Sole Proprietorship Advantages and Disadvantages\"><b>sole proprietorship<\/b><\/a>&nbsp;is typically not required to file with the state to form. One jeweler is running the business, usually under their own name or using a doing business as registration (DBA). Sole proprietors are personally responsible for all business debts and lawsuits against your company.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>If you have a partner in your jewelry business, you might consider a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/checklist-starting-a-partnership.html\" title=\"Checklist: Starting a Partnership\"><b>partnership<\/b><\/a>. But like a sole proprietorship, you and your partner are personally liable for the business operations. So, a corporation or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/the-small-business-partnership-general-and-limited-partnerships.html\" title=\"General and Limited Partnerships\">limited liability partnership<\/a>&nbsp;is better for you and your partner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A&nbsp;<b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/corporations.html\" title=\"Corporations | FindLaw\">corporation<\/a>&nbsp;<\/b>is a business entity that segregates business activities and liabilities from the business owner&#8217;s personal assets. So, if someone sues your company, they can only go after the corporation&#8217;s assets. But there is an issue of double taxation. As a corporation, you pay taxes on the corporation&#8217;s profits. You also pay taxes on any income you receive from the corporation on your individual tax return. You can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/instructions\/i2553\" title=\"Instructions for Form 2553\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">apply to the IRS for an S corporation<\/a>&nbsp;to get a special tax status. This election allows you to pass-through your profits and losses to your personal income tax return. This way, you eliminate double taxation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A<b>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/incorporation-and-legal-structures\/llcs.html\" title=\"LLCs | FindLaw\">limited liability company (LLC)<\/a><\/b>&nbsp;allows for pass-through taxation like a sole proprietorship. It also provides the liability protection of a corporation. For a one-person business, an LLC is a popular option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Creating a formal business structure can insulate your finances from the company&#8217;s operations. Choosing a business structure has many legal and tax implications. You may want to consult a small business attorney to select the correct entity.<\/p>\n<h3>Register Your Business Entity<\/h3>\n<p>Once you choose your business structure and are ready to sell your own jewelry, register your small business with the secretary of state. You can find the&nbsp;formation documents for your business entity&nbsp;at your secretary of state&#8217;s office. Or, consider using a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/legalzoomcominc.pxf.io\/c\/4851649\/2115288\/26746?subId1=how-to-open-a-jewelry-store-custom-content\" title=\"Simple Business Formation With FindLaw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trusted online business formation service<\/a>&nbsp;that will take this step \u2014 and many others \u2014 for you.<\/p>\n<p>This registration protects your business name from being used by someone else. Additionally, the filing gives you corporate protection.<\/p>\n\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"steps-container-item\">\n                <div class=\"category-overview category-overview-item-steps\">\n                    <div class=\"category-overview-heading category-overview-heading-steps\">\n                        <div class=\"category-overview-steps\">\n                            4\n                        <\/div>\n                        <h2 class=\"category-overview-steps-title\" id=\"EIN\">Apply for an EIN and Open a Business Bank Account<\/h2>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"category-overview-content-steps\">\n                        <h3>Apply for an Employer Identification Number (EIN)<\/h3>\n<p>After registering your business entity, you should apply for an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/business-taxes\/getting-an-employer-identification-number-ein.html\" title=\"How To Get an EIN\">Employer Identification Number (EIN)<\/a>&nbsp;with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The IRS assigns a nine-digit number to identify your business. You use this number to file business taxes, open bank accounts, and get business licenses.

This establishes your jewelry-making business bank account and gives investors or lenders a place to put your funding.<\/p>\n<p>Know your startup costs, including marketing materials and advertising costs. Calculate your cost of materials, equipment, and supplies. If you sell high-quality handmade jewelry, your startup costs may be more than an online reseller&#8217;s on Shopify. Include fees for business formation, a workshop, or retail space.
