What forms do I need to have in order to start a business

Not enough information. In what state are you starting the business and what type of business are you starting. Will it be a sole proprietorship or have employees?

You will most likely get good information from this site if you first provide enough information. That is what this site is for, answering questions and providing/exchanging information.

What kind of business is it that you are wanting to start and where are you wanting it to be located? Depending on the type of business, where it is located and other factors involved in your business, there may be no forms or many forms that you would need to complete and submit to the proper authorities.
