Description

Leonard Hoogerwerf acquired Quad City Water Treatment Company in 2006. Founded in 1976, the company was a commercial laboratory, water treatment, contractual water, and wastewater operations service for local municipalities and industry. It grew into a 10,000 square foot full-service analytical testing laboratory so an educational center was built in 1993 to accommodate the growth.

We provide free, confidential, customized, professional business advice and consulting in all 99 Iowa counties to entrepreneurs and existing businesses with 500 employees or less. If you're looking for help writing a business plan, planning a marketing strategy, developing cash flow projections, doing market research, or much, much more, you've found the right organization.

The forms (licensing, permits and registrations) that you need to file are very dependent on two issues: What type of business ownership format you choose (sole proprietorship, LLC, Corporation); and what type of business you are forming. To start a retail business in Iowa, one needs to obtain a sales tax permit. If your business will have employees and pay wages you will need an Employer Identification Number (EIN) and an Iowa Withholding Tax Registration. The EIN is also required if you will operate your business as a partnership, corporation or limited liability company (LLC).
