Starting a Business(Jim F and others Pl help)...

1) I am on H1-B and want to do start software consulting business keeping the present H1-B and working for the sponsred company. basically consulting would be an side business kind of a deal.

Here are the issues I forsee :

1) If I have to sponsor somebody for H1-B. As an owner of the company can I sign the legal documents for H1-B.

2) With the earlier posts I understand that I will hire a CPA for the Tax purposes. As an owner of the company I will not be working for the company. But can I sign the documents like quaterly taxes and yearly taxes forms from the IRS. As a small company I cannot hire as of now one person to sign the documents.

Your help is highly appreciated...
 
joef,

About signing papers. JoeF, Don't you think you can atleast be an honorary officer (and not draw salary) of the company and strictly work ocassionally for the company, like signing papers?

Thanks
