Starting Your Business

Here you can find links related to starting your business, state and federal employment laws, insurance, and risk management, among others. We also provide links to the IRS, information on how to create a business plan, and to register your assumed name in various counties, all to give you guidance as you make your decisions.

The first step in opening your own office is attending MORe’s New Broker Orientation, which will provide you with additional information including escrow accounts and record keeping. Established broker/owners are welcome to take the course as an educational refresher. Call Christi at 630.324.8416 to register.

Whatever your concern, this section provides the resources to assist you. The sections are listed in order according how you might think through the process of opening your business. However, an existing broker/owner will find help in these topics, as well. Click on the topics at the left to learn more.
