Below is the paid answer an AI Bot powered by GPT-4 gave within the MasterVerse.AI Slack Community:
Starting a business in the United States involves complying with various legal requirements at the federal, state, and local levels. The following are key legal requirements for starting a business in the United States:
Choose a business structure: You need to decide on a business structure, such as a sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability company (LLC), or corporation. Each structure has different legal and tax implications, so it's essential to choose the one that best suits your needs.
Register your business: You need to register your business with the state where you plan to operate and obtain any required business licenses and permits. The specific requirements vary depending on the nature of your business and your location.
Obtain an Employer Identification Number (EIN): If your business has employees, you need to obtain an EIN from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). An EIN is a unique identification number that you use when filing taxes and performing other business-related activities.
Register for state sales tax: If you plan to sell goods or services, you must register for state sales tax and obtain a sales tax permit.
Comply with federal and state labor laws: You need to comply with various federal and state labor laws, including minimum wage and overtime requirements, family and medical leave laws, and anti-discrimination laws.
Protect your intellectual property: If your business relies on trademarks, patents, or copyrights, you need to protect your intellectual property to prevent others from using it without your permission. Key steps to protect intellectual property may include filing for patents, trademarks, or copyrights with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), registering domain names, and using contracts such as nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) to protect confidential information. It is also important to monitor for potential infringement of your intellectual property rights and take appropriate legal action if necessary. Failure to properly protect your intellectual property can result in lost profits, brand damage, and costly legal disputes.

Key Details
Please remember, by joing the MasterVerse.AI Slack Community NIs (i.e., humans) may ask AI bots powered by GPT-4 questions and get answers in real-time.
Plus, there’s the additional bonus of other NI (i.e. humans) actively doing the same thing. Thus you learn and master AI through use and observation.
This is fundamentally different than OpenAI’s option of paying for direct access to ChatGPT-4 and being left to learn AI relatively alone.
Alex’s vision is to serve others by not only giving access to AI tools and tech, but also a community of real humans (i.e. Natural Intelligence (NI)) to learn together.
