Entrepreneurs are well known for their resilience and ability to adapt to ever-changing markets. However, evolving from an initial business model to a more sustainable, scalable one often came with its unique set of challenges.

Nellie Akalp is the CEO of CorpNet, a business filing service that streamlines compliance across multiple states. CorpNet isn't Nellie's first business venture, though. Fresh out of law school, Nellie and her husband began working on an online business at the beginning of the internet boom that was similar to CorpNet but under the B2C umbrella. Their first business saw so much success that they were able to sell it to a publicly traded company and retire early. Nellie and her husband decided they weren't done being entrepreneurs, so they got back into the game—with a fresh twist. And that's just the beginning. Listen to Nellie share her tips for entrepreneurial success on the newest episode of the Thrivecast.

Often times entrepreneurs choose co-founders to help them build their idea, knowing that this person (or these people) have complementary skill sets. Some of us even dream of starting a company with our significant other because we assume our goals are aligned and we understand each other better than if it were a friend or stranger. While everyone can gain something from this episode, it’s really tailored for people who either currently work with their spouse, or are thinking about starting a company with their spouse. It’s important that you learn how to understand how to make it work, because it’s certainly not easy and can result in a failed business or a failed romantic relationship. So thanks to Nellie Akalp, CEO and Founder of https://CorpNet.com, who started a business with her husband, grew it for 9 years, sold it to a publicly listed company, and then started NetCorp with him a few years later and they still run it together after 11 years, for peeling back the curtain on what it’s like to work with your spouse and how to keep it all from going sideways. In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about:When did you know you wanted to work with your spouse?How did you decide what kind of company to start?Were there any boundaries or splitting of roles from day 1 to help?Was it possible to prevent the blurring of work and romance?Why you should seek a couple’s therapist?Why you should set boundaries?Why saying no is okay.What did you learn from this experience?

Menigeen is huiverig voor het fenomeen big data en zijn consequenties. Maar onderzoek met big data-methoden kan de wereld ook mooier, schoner en rechtvaardiger maken. Zo kan dr.

She and her husband started their first online legal document filing service in 1997 in their small apartment living room after purchasing a domain name for $100. In 2005 that company was acquired by Intuit for $20 million. They soon found out that the corporate way of Intuit was not a good fit for them so they stepped down from the previous company and took a few years off. Too motivated to retire young, the couple got back to work in 2009 and launched CorpNet.com where they help entrepreneurs start, grow and maintain their ventures. Throughout her career, Nellie has formed well over half a million LLCs for entrepreneurs across many industries.Nellie shares tips on how to legally start a business at Forbes, Entrepreneur, Mashable, Huffington Post and more.

Nellie Akalp is a serial entrepreneur, small business expert, speaker and author. She is the founder and CEO of CorpNet.com - an online legal document filing service - where she helps entrepreneurs start, grow and maintain a business. Nellie shares her expert tips with readers at Forbes, Entrepreneur and Mashable and is a regular guest expert on the Fox Small Business Center. Nellie has presented a workshop at Small Biz Expo and sat down with members of Girls in Tech, General Assembly, and more, to inspire and motivate others to make their business dreams a reality. Playing Small Moment Nellie started her first business straight out of law school and right at the start of the Internet. The business took right off, as there was not a lot of competition. In 2005, the company was sold for a large sum of cash. Nellie took time off to focus more on being a mom. After her non-compete clause ran out, she realized she was too young, bored and passionate to take early retirement. So, Nellie jumped back into the game and started CorpNet in 2009, at the height of the recession. She was bombarded by competition and felt out of place with the new social media world we were in. After Nellie’s quick success in the past, she suffered from a false sense of being able to do the same thing again. Nellie had to adapt to a new way of doing things, and rethink her approach. The Wake Up Call Nellie is very public about her panic attacks, even writing about them on The Huffington Post.

On this episode of Rhodes to Success, I interview Nellie Akalp, who is a small business advocate and CEO of CorpNet.com. Nellie has formed more than 100K corporations and LLCs across the US, and has been building companies for more than 18 years. In 2008, Nellie sold her first company to Intuit for $20M, and got straight back in the entrepreneur game. During this episode, Jessica and Nellie discuss trademarks, common law rights, how to get started, working as a couple, and managing a successful team.   Main Questions Asked: How did your law school education impact what you are doing in business? When is the best time to trademark a business name? What is the investment for securing a trademark? What are common law trademark rights? What are your tips for younger married women with kids in the early years of their business? Talk about managing and growing a successful team. What is an example of one thing you have done that contributed to upleveling your business? What percentage of million dollar businesses are owned by women?   Key Lessons Learned: About CorpNet CorpNet provides legal document preparation services to small business owners and entrepreneurs who want to start a business.   Trademarks Businesses need to protect their name, brand, logo, and tagline, as well as completing trademark and copyright registration and searches. Trademarks are about protecting your brand from anyone else using it, diluting it, and creating confusion in the marketplace. Trademark protection is about preventing others from using your name, tag line, brand, and logo. If the business is making money, is profitable, and you are planning on building out the business, you should consider trademarking. Having a trademark is one more step to giving you brand recognition and loyalty.   Getting Started with a Trademark Prices start from $149 for the application preparation (in addition to the fees paid to the United States Patent and Trademark Office). Do a free trademark search at the federal level. A nationwide trademark search is $199. If you are doing name and logo, it is $299. The United States Patent and Trademark Office fees range from $325 per class to $375 per class.   Common Law Trademark Rights Common law rights are based on first use of the name. Just by using a name in the marketplace, you are applying rights to that name under the First-use doctrine.   Family & Relationship Tips for Entrepreneurs In running a business with your partner, you have to be linear rather than a hierarchy. You always have to be unified as a couple in front of your team. Mandate date night, and keep it intimate rather than simply just business.   Managing a Successful Team When working with remote team members, their mindset has to be one of an entrepreneurial nature. Whereby everyone is working toward a common goal. A big company is a result of the sum of its parts.   Subscribe to the show in iTunes or Stitcher Radio!   The music in today's episode was written by The Danger Os and produced by Nick Palmer.

On top of that, you've noticed a similar business in your niche that has the same company name and tagline. What's a small business owner to do?! No worries. Nellie Akalp has you covered. While registering as an LLC or Trademarking aspects of your business may not be first on your to-do list, Nellie shares why they're important issues to consider as soon as you know you have a viable business on your hands.

Her first business began in 1997 with her husband, Philip. They were in law school together and saw a need for an online business that provided entrepreneurs with legal filing help so they could get their businesses off the ground. Intuit acquired the Akalp's company in 2005, and after their three-year non-compete clause was up, the Akalps were still so passionate about helping entrepreneurs in this way that they started from scratch once again and founded CorpNet. Nellie and Philip have helped over half a million corporations and LLCs to get started by assisting with their document filing and streamlining the process of business formation for them.In addition to being a brilliant start-up founder, Nellie is a mother of four. She has teenage twins, and 11 year-old, and a 4 year-old. Do you have a Fictitious Business Name (We hope not!) If you've never taken steps to become an LLC (Limited Liability Company) or S-Corp, and you're not in a partnership, then you have a fictitious business name. The default business structure for a solopreneur is called a Sole Propietorship. Many businesses start out this way, but it's not wise to continue with this structure for very long. Essentially, a Sole Proprietorship allows you to do business under you own name, or a "fictitious business name". Filing this business type is called a "Doing Business As Filing" or "Fictitious Business Name Filing."Although it's easy to get started as a Sole Proprietorship, this business structure offers you zero legal protection. If your business wrongs a third party, and that third party decides to sue, they can go after your personal assets such as your house, car, or personal savings accounts. So get rid of that fictitious business name, and structure your business as an LLC or S-Corp. (Note: You should always talk with an accountant and legal advisors. This article does not constitute either accounting or legal advice, but simply recommendations based on experience.) What are the Benefits of an LLC or S-Corp? The S-Corp or LLC are the best types of business entities for a small business owner to consider. Since laws vary from state-to-state, be sure to check with your accountant to determine which structure makes the most sense for you. The Benefits of an S-Corp The corporation gets treated as an individual entity. An S-Corp is treated as a pass-through tax entity, so this means, for example, that when a company pays out dividends to its stockholders, you no longer get taxed twice - once at the individual level and once at the corporate level for the small business owner. You are only taxed at the individual level when you receive your dividend, and in this way, an S-Corp avoids double taxation. May be entitled to more tax savings. There may be other additional tax benefits and savings related to being an S-Corp, but these vary on a case-by-case basis. Corporate shield between you and your business. You have far more protection for your personal assets when you are the owner of an S-Corp. Now, a wronged third party may go after the corporation's assets, but not your personal assets as the business owner. Added layer of privacy. Becoming an S-Corp means that the corporation is its own entity. You no longer have forms with your name all over it stating that you're simply "doing business as .......X Company" Higher credibility in the eyes of the consumer. Becoming a corporation means that you've taken steps to legitimize your business. You're official. What are the Benefits of an LLC? Here's the best news of all! An LLC provides all the benefits of an S-Corp without all of the formalities required to file as an S-Corp. With an LLC, you have have your cake and eat it too. You get added tax benefits, additional legal protection, more privacy, and appear more legitimate in the eyes of the consumer. The only formality required for an LLC is to have an operating agreement that's executed by all of the members of the LLC and to file a yearly compliance document. What Good is a Trademark if there are Two Companies Called "Nike"? What is a trademark and why does it matter to you as a small business owner? A trademark is a word, phrase, symbol, or design or a combination of any of these that identifies the source of a product or service and distinguishes it from its competitors. Trademarks can be given for product names, company names, logos, and taglines.However, trademarks apply only to a particular category of goods and services. For example, Nike Inc. owns the swoosh mark on shoes, clothing, andsporting goods along with the name Nike and the phrase "Just do it" within the sporting goods category. However, there is also a Nike Corporation (a completely different company) who sells hydraulic lifting jacks and machinery. These two companies, both called Nike, can both exist because each is clearly distinguished within a particular category of goods and services - one in sporting goods and the other in hydraulic machinery. So what's the point of a Trademark if there can be two Nikes? A trademark keeps your brand ID safe so that no one else in the marketplace can use your name, logo, tag line, or combination of those for a similar product. Trademarks are still powerful, even though they only apply to a specific category or just a few categories. When should you Trademark? If you have a viable business name and you're planning on using it in more than one state, then trademarking your brand name and possibly logo and tag line should be done during your start of business checklist. You don't want others to dilute your brand name or logo by using it on similar products that didn't come from you. The Benefits of Registering a Trademark You're eligible for damages if someone in your category infringes on your name, logo, or branding. You obtain the right to use the R symbol instead of just the TM symbol behind your company name and logo. You have a streamlined process for securing your domain and usernames on social sites if, for example, someone else is already using your brand name there. It's much easier for you to dispute this use and win the right to be the only person using that brand name. You receive stronger legal protection than that of "Common Law Rights of First Use" so it's easier to recover your property and dispute infringements on your brand. (Common Law Rights of First Use does say that if you've registered your business with your state with a given brand name and have done business with that brand name, then you have rights of first use, but this is not nearly as official as having a registered trademark.) Is Obtaining a Trademark Complicated and Expensive? Acquiring a Trademark can be a complicated process, but you don't have to have a lawyer to do it. However, a document filing service like CorpNet can help you along without all of the crazy expense that comes with hiring a lawyer. Below are the steps you'll go through to obtain a Trademark for your business. Make sure the name is available for you to register it as a trademark. You can do this by conducting a free Trademark search. Be really certain! Conduct a comprehensive nationwide search to make sure no other businesses have any common law rights to the name. File your Trademark with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office.) You can file your Trademark directly online. The cost for a Trademark application is $325 per class. You will register your Trademark under 1-3 classes. Filing classes can take 6-12 months, and you will be assigned a document examiner from the USPTO who will review your filing. This document examiner may submit an office action to request more information from the small business owner. This is where things may fall apart for the entrepreneur. If they're too busy and don't respond to requests for more information, the trademark application will expire and they will have wasted their application fees.Companies like Corpnet ease the stress and ensure the Trademark is processed by taking care of office actions and all correspondence with the USPTO. Grab more information and answers to commonly asked questions about Trademarks. The $100 Investment that Turned into Millions After snagging tons of technical advice from Nellie, we wanted to take things back a few years and find out what it was like to grow a start-up in 1997. Nellie was more than happy to share her story!She and her husband Philip were both attending law school in 1997. There were in a corporation class at the time, and in the real world, the internet era had begun. One of the hottest trends at the time was starting a business online because the internet was booming. However, these bright-eyed, enthusiastic internet entrepreneurs often had no clue about the tedious work of filing as an LLC or S-Corp or getting Trademarks for their business. Nellie and Philip came up with the idea to help all of these start-ups with the legal filing they would need to bring their businesses to fruition. With a $100 investment, the Akalps acquired a domain name and started their business out of their 2- bedroom apartment. They worked day and night until they reached a substantial amount of sales. They were able to purchase their first home with their business, and then they acquired their own office space.In 2005, they were approached the opportunity to be acquired by Intuit, and they said yes! At the time, they had 5 year-old twins and a two year old toddler. Selling made sense so they could spend more time with their family. The Akalps signed a non-compete clause that lasted for three years. But rather than get used to their (very!) early retirement, they decided to get right back into the business when their non-compete was up.Nellie and Philip realized that they were too young, too motivated, and too passionate to take on such an early retirement. They love small business so much and couldn't see themselves doing anything else. Back to the Future Clearly, starting a business in 1997 is much different than starting a business in 2009. We were curious about the challenges of starting again. Nellie was very open about several challenges that confronted CorpNet in 2009. But clearly, she's pushed past all of them! The Recession. 2009 was the height of the recession in the U.S. so this alone made growing a small business challenging.  Saturated marketplace. In the 12 years that had past between the two businesses, many companies very similar to the Akalps had sprung up. Fierce Competition. Not only were the Akalps competing with their old company, but with thousands of competitors offering similar services as them in the much busier online business space. The Benefits of Starting in 2009 No barrier to entry. With Google, social networks, and a plethora of online business tools, there's no barrier to entry to getting started with an online business. The landscape was much different in 1997 when just getting a website up was much more challenging and expensive. Clear Vision. Having already grown a similar business, the Akalps had a clear vision for where they wanted to go. They weren't distracted by shiny objects but stayed the course. Social Media. 2009 was around the birth of the social media era. The Akalps didn't have nearly as many tools to reach and connect with their audience online in 1997. Now, they can market their business in a variety of ways, and they've chosen to be very savvy with social media. Content Marketing. Nellie markets CorpNet primarily by putting out a ton of content around their niche. She's branded herself as a small business expert, and she continuously puts out extremely helpful content for her audience of potential customers. People being to know, like, and trust Nellie before they ever pick up the phone. Stand Out. Nellie believes that there's plenty of business to go around for everybody. Just because you're entering a saturated market doesn't mean you have a barrier to entry. Look at the market and figure out how you can differentiate yourself to stand out from everybody else. More than a Million Reasons to be Proud We love to get inside the heads of the mamapreneurs we interview to find out what makes them tick. Out of everything they've accomplished, what are they most proud of? Nellie found it difficult to pinpoint just one thing considering everything she's done over the past 18 years, but she cited more than a million great reasons to be proud. Her company was acquired at an early age - Nellie was just 31 years old at the time, and she and her husband had built that company to be so successful that they became multi-millionaires when they sold it. (Yep, I'd say building a company to that level - along with helping many entrepreneurs along the way is certainly something to be proud of!)

Nellie Akalp is a mom of four, serial entrepreneur and CEO of CorpNet.com where she helps entrepreneurs start, grow and maintain their businesses. She is a contributor to Forbes, Entrepreneur and Mashable and is a regular guest expert on the Fox Small Business Center. Her first venture grew and expanded to the point that the company was acquired in 2005 and rather than simply taking a retirement they launched corpnet.com in 2009. Corpnet is designed to manage and setup businesses to keep compliant with the latest regulations. Challenge: With the first business venture the company grew so quickly that they were shocked. Learning and growing all at the same time they had to use their Mother-In-Law's credit card machine to process orders and even going as far as being left Credit Card information on their voicemail. Having to react quickly and always be on the move. Now with Corpnet we are in an environment that is pretty saturated and it is proving difficult to expand, but it's still a wonderful experience. Lessons Learned With the current business, analytics are super important, staying on top of them and seeing where your clients are coming from is a huge deal. Also, by looking at the old business and the new business its that you can look to the past, but what worked then doesn't always work now. Social media is also important, its a great way to keep up with your clients and your followers. Marketing and advertising was a surprise in that by reducing the expense on advertising my income still increased. Passion: The legal space is showing a ton of opportunity. We're honing into what the needs of the market are showing. Vision Knowing that there is a ton of opportunity in the legal space we are looking at better automation and streamlining the whole processes that are out there. Were looking to do what it is that will make a significant value for the community. Looking to simplify and help others to maximize their time. Personal Growth Nelli says she has become a better communicator and learned to set boundaries and figure out a better way to determine the line for personal and professional relationships. Gadgets and Gizmos My iPhone is my BFF - a 1 stop shop for staying connected and running the business. Inspiration A book called Delivering Happiness by the CEO of Zappos.com - now a days we are in a service based industry, and its so important to differentiate yourself and create the niche and stand out. This book is all about creating such amazing customer service and how to best provide that. Looking Back: I would do everything nearly the same. I would maybe change a few things just on a few of the decision, but I would do my best to keep to the same path and keep working hard to make things better.

In our ongoing series, Better Know a Millionaire, we interview Nellie Akalp to discuss the legalities involved in incorporating your own business. Nellie and her husband started My Corporation in 1997 to help small businesses handle the paperwork involved in incorporating.  After eight years of hard work they sold the business to Intuit for millions of dollars.  But like all of our millionaires to date, Nellie didn’t stop working once she had that money in the bank. Not satisfied with ultra early retirement, Nellie and her husband started a new venture, CorpNet, a one stop shop for small businesses to help with legal filings, compliance, and the paper work required to set up a business. Nellie and her husband were living paycheck to paycheck when they started the first company.  It started making money pretty quickly and they were able to pay off their student loans.  When the company was sold they found themselves with twenty million dollars.  Now they started living a little more luxuriously, a house bought with cash, a Mercedes, and lots of travel. Another thread running through our millionaire interviews is that they manage their own money.  It’s the only way to really know what’s happening with your money. They invest money back into the business and own commercial real estate.  And they do not day trade. Nellie has four children and they know not to expect to become trust fund babies.  They do chores for their allowance, mom and dad will pay for their education but then they will be on their own to make their own life. All of our millionaires agree that the money did not bring additional happiness.  Nellie advises that if you have a business plan whose end goal is to get rich, throw that out and come up with a business that you feel passionate about.  That is what brings happiness. It’s so interesting to hear each millionaire’s story and how much they all have in common.  I’m actually starting to believe them when they say that money does not buy happiness.
