Perhaps you’re ready to leave your career as a nurse in order to become an entrepreneur. From starting an online yoga teaching business to becoming a wellness counselor, nursing can prepare you for business ownership! With resources from The Liberated Nurse, you can get ready to make your entrepreneurial dreams a reality - and if you’re interested in traveling, you can even start a business as a digital nomad. These cities are great stops for any nurse entrepreneur who wants to start a business and explore.

Forming Your Business

No matter where you decide to travel, you’ll want to take care of some key business tasks before you hit the road. It’s a good idea to connect with an accountant who you can work with remotely, open a credit card solely for your business, and register your company as an LLC. To form a Kansas LLC, you’ll need to file your paperwork in one specific state, so you may want to use your home state if you’ll be traveling back there frequently. Working a budget-friendly online formation service is an affordable alternative to hiring a lawyer for this process - they will help 
you gather all of the appropriate documents for your state.
