Yeah i think you're right it all starts with setting up the company which can get very creative and juicy. I guess i use the term "IPO" loosely.
yeah, I call it "listing", as there's no legal connotations associated with that, setting up a standard corporation for a bitcoin business isn't all that hard, however dealing with tax will involve a lawyer, I recommend marco santori (http://nmllplaw.com/marco-a-santori/), he's working with my company on what we're developing and he's a great lawyer.
