What’s the first step to making my business legal?

If you’re operating as a sole proprietorship, you’ll need to register a trade name. 
If you’re operating as a corporation, you’ll need to register your corporation.

What’s the difference between a sole proprietorship and a corporation?

A sole proprietorship can be flexible, informal, and affordable. All profits are taxed personally on you, the business owner/operator, and you also assume all liability. 
A corporation operates as an independent entity. The corporation assumes all liability and can continue to operate after should you decide to transfer ownership, or upon your passing.

How many instructors are at ACTI?

At any given time, we have a team of over 18 instructors. These entrepreneurs and business specialists are experts in their fields, and cover a wide range of subject matter.

What credentials do ACTI instructors have?

Some of our instructors work for organizations that provide services specifically for entrepreneurs, others are long-time entrepreneurs who know firsthand what works and what doesn’t when it comes to being a successful business owner. We have instructors who are marketing masters, sales and bookkeeping experts, social media specialists, mindset and health gurus, and everything in between!

Can I still connect with ACTI instructors after graduation?

Yes. Most of our instructors provide their contact information so if you require their expertise or services you can reach out to them. This is one of the great things that sets ACTI apart from other training programs!
