Step 5 Registration
Where your investment club is located will be a deciding factor about the requirements for the registration of your club.
The requirements for registration will be different depending on what state or province you live in.
Youll have to contact your local government to find out what your own requirements are.
If you live in the United States you can contact the Office of the Secretary of State for more information about registering your investment club:

The United States will assign what is known as a Federal Tax ID Number to your investment club. Youll need to use this ID number on all your tax returns.
Youll also need the ID number when youre dealing with a brokerage firm and your bank when youre opening up accounts for your investment club.
To obtain a Federal Tax ID Number you need to get an IRS Form SS-4, which can be obtained at any local library.
Or you can contact the IRS website directly on the Internet to obtain a copy.

The procedure, and process, of obtaining a government ID number for tax purposes will vary depending on what country you live in. The above information is exclusive to the United States.
No matter what country that you live in, its important that you request your Tax ID Number as soon as you can to avoid delay. A delay could mean a delay in your investing schedule.

A firm is acting as a dealer when it buys or sells a security for its own account and at its own risk and then charges the customer a markup or markdown. People who want a quick turn around are discouraged from joining an investment group and investing on their own. The important thing is to have fun investing and learning about the stock market with a group of people that share your interests. The vice president is often the one who plans some of the educational information that is provided to the club at meetings.
There are many other different types of software that you can use to help your investment club to run smoothly and so that you can keep track of your profits and expenses.
Since this is still the first meeting any member that is in serious disagreement about the decisions made at this first meeting has a chance to decline being a member. The vice president, or the education officer, should be planning the first education program that youre going to start learning. All members of the club should have the same philosophy about investing.
