Nurse Practitioners Publish Women's Heart Book, February 2009:"Women work, clean, cook, take care of children, spouses, parents, pets – but sometimes forget to take care of themselves. Their knowledge about health often comes from a two minute news report or short article. But every week there is some new research report telling us what we need to do. What the authors have done is compile a concise, easy reference book for women who are too busy to spend hours searching for this valuable information. They want to help women learn about their risks as early as possible and to develop heart healthy lifestyles that will allow them to live longer, healthier lives."

Your Business Name (if applicable): Heartstrong, LLC
Business Organization? Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, LLC or Corporation (C or S)?: Heartstrong is an LLC
Why did you choose this type of organization? For tax purposes because an LLC's income and losses go on your personal tax returns similiar to a partnership but with the added benefit of limited liability (generally your personal assets can't be touched in a lawsuit or to cover a liability) but an Inc. is taxed as a corporation and then again on your personal tax returns if you distribute the profits (double taxation).

Our services include community and professional seminars, and educational products/publications.

Should You Incorporate Your Registry Business? By Joseph Caracci, RN:"The short answer is yes! When starting a new nurse registry business, you are entering into a legal business environment that requires you to take steps to protect your personal assets, such as your home, your savings, and your retirement. With this in mind, you need to determine which legal form you are going to take for your new registry. Some of the common choices are a sole proprietorship, a partnership, a limited liability partnership (LLP), a limited liability company (LLC), and a corporation."
