What makes a startup a “startup”? You can also add a third factor - significant growth. More important than innovation nearly. Opening a restuarant is not a startup. Opening a chain of restaurants may be. Opening an ice cream factory may be - Ben & Jerries went from zero against an established market to high in little time, as did google. |

What's the simplest way to calculate my tax burden? I can not believe that. What do you do in a business with slim margins? Where you pay 95USD in goods to make 100USD revenue? Stuff liek RAM chips have extremely tight margins - if you can not deduct expenses, that would simply not work. Where I live, food shops make maybe 3% to 5% margin. Cost goes from there. |

Existing Consulting Biz - Looking to grow, considering new partners Sorry, how is that "successfull"? That is 9 years in business with no employees? I really hate to say, but I consider that to be "short to bankrupt failure". |

Should I be concerned with a low conversion rate? Yes, you should be concerned about a LOW conversion rate. 2.5%, though, is quite good and NOT low. YOu should more work on getting traffic than anything else. |

Startups with ASP.Net MVC 3 and MS SQL Ah, no - you do not need. YOu get to keep all the software you got from BizSpark. YOu only need to pay for additional stuff. Reading is an art, I assume - after all, all the info is available for public, one just mustread it. Your "Waiver" is standard bizspark condition. I am not sure Azure is wise in general - I rather prefer low runnning costs and it is SO much more expensive than renting the hardware... |

Startups with ASP.Net MVC 3 and MS SQL SQL Server FIleStream data (read is up - it is a nice concept) does NOT count against the 10g size limit = SQL Server Express. SQL Server Web Edition is vrey cheap and the size limit non existent. Azuere BLob Storage wil kill you price wise. |

Partnership split Germany. WHen you form a GBR (partnership under vcivil law= both parties are fully liable for any debts of the partnership, and the partnership is equally split. BOTH parts can be overridden by contract, but that is the default. |

Reasonable compensation for building a product prototype A -1 without a comment. "Anonymous Coward" comes to my mind. |

How can startups protect their technology from being copied by the companies assembling it? To give you another view - not one so "public" - there was a plant once that was putting Cisco routers together. They also worked in the night. Same routers. Not for Cisco. SAME routers - including the logo (I.e. pirating). It just happens. No way to stop it. |

Server costs for video startup THe counteroffer from a cloud provider was around 1 core and 4gb memory.... OUCH. Plus when you get bigger (video does) backupts etc. are similar to cloud from your work anyyway. |

Server costs for video startup Seriously? Have a look at the prices and then you realize that you can afford 3-4 times the hardware AND the admins from the difference. I have 6 servers now, nr 7 going nline in 3 weeks and I pay a LOT less than you would for ONE of the servers in the cloud. Every time I see the prices I - sorry - vomit. I can get a 6 core / 16gb machine for 160 USD. I just ordered a 4 core (intel, so + hyper) 16gb machine with a 120gb ssd (not a lot of data there) and 10tb traffic and I pay 150 USD or so per month, with local people handling the hardware. |

Server costs for video startup Well, the advantage of renting a car is that they do a lot of heavy lifting for you. Pay<ing daily rates for 2 years is EXPENSIVE though. I pay less (!) for a 16g hexacore physical system per month than for a dual core 4gb cloud offering. It is EXPENSIVE - I dont care what they do when I pay them 5 times what I pay other people to do the same job. Their ONLY good point is flexibility. |

Server costs for video startup THat is totally different from the question, though ;) TESTING is one of those "not ins use all the time" scenarios and you can use the cloud AND Have your own machines ;) |

How to register an IT company in USA? Use google. There are companies that do that as a service, they can tell you the details. "register company usa" turns a page full of relevant links. Your google fu must be very weak not to even have thought of just asking there and see whether someone offers that as a service. Company registration is a very established market. |
