In a previous videos you mentioned that cooperate businesses involve lots of paperwork. Can you please go over what paperwork is needed. Thank you!

I want to start my own company. Only one business and may have 4 to 5 employees. I'm still working on my business plan to present to an investor and should be only one investor. I'm not sure if it should be an LLC I don't want to post publicly what the building will be.

If you are forming a corporation as a married couple and want it to be 50/50, how would we put 2 presidents? Or 2 ceos?

If I file a trademark for a nonprofit can I be the owner of the mark ? I founded the NPO

Thank you, very well explained.

Thank you so much for the advice! You explain it in a way that makes sense. I do have one question. I am located here in NE, and I do some landscaping/snow removal as some extra money. I want it to be legit, would you recommend an LLC filing as an S Corp?

Hi Elizabeth, very helpful information. Any insight on the best code for a solo practice attorney office. Other attorney's typically bring me on their cases and I consult with them on best strategies. Thank you for any insight you can provide on your opinion on the most appropriate BPC code.

hi, i just created two EIN against my one LLC, first time i was unable to download the EIN letter then i again apply for EIN against the same LLC? Can i close the previous EIN?

hi i have created two EIN by mistake against one LLC is it easy to kill one EIN which is created by mistake?

Hi Elizabeth, thank you for creating easy to follow videos for us all - you are much appreciated! I formed my LLC Nov, 14 2023 and have just requested access via BizFile. I reviewed your video in regards to the Short form vs standard certification of cancelation form - my questions is am I eligible to use the short form if I’ve technically made 55 USD selling my book on Amazon KDP? Is 55 dollars considered “launched” meaning I’d have to do the standard certificate form? Any knowledge or suggestions is very appreciated! I’ve also already viewed your FTB video and plan to submit a form once I officially dissolve the LLC. 🤞 Hopefully I won’t have to pay the 800 dollar tax after only making 55 dollars 🤦

This was extremely helpful. thank you so much. Everyone please use this video for excellent reference and trademark advice.

I might be looking for your help. Mine is coming up to the 5 year mark soon.

is the Bizfile search only for your own LLC. If i wanted to conduct a search i would use the search bar? Thanks

Thanks Elizabeth question if i dont already have the website page could I register my brand on USPTO

Hi. Thank you for this video. I am starting a new business with a partner that will employ 1099 contractors. Both partners live in NJ and CA and neither of us or our contractors will be doing business from an office (the state we live in are just our home addresses). I would like some advice about this and perhaps he’d be open to a call. Thank you.

so, if i created a llc example j&k trucking but i want to run j&k trucking as my dba instead of my llc. I want to change my llc to j&k enterprise llc and make my dba j&k trucking.What steps do i need to do? Do i need to just change the llc then add the dba ? create a new llc ? am i able to switch the llc and dba on the current llc i already have? hope its not to confusing.

Thank you so much for this 🙏

can i list myself as my registered agent and use my business address (virtual mailbox from anytime mail box) as my registered agent address?

you are amazing

This is one of the best youtube video Many thanks to Elizabeth. Every steps are so clear to understand and Apply. Super thanks:)

What types of evidence do you need of a first date of sale? If I sold a product to a friend who paid with cash or Venmo how would I record that so that I can use that date in the application?

Thank you for the detailed video, I was able to complete the short form termination form since my LLC was made this January and no business was conducted, 2 questions, am I still required to file taxes for the LLC (state and or federal) and if so, will I be required to pay the 800$ franchise fee or no, and if so is there a way to be exempt from it?

Good morning elizabeth, hope all is well. My one question that I have is if I have one company that is flipping houses and one company that is buying an apartment complex . do you think it is best or not to have them under one LLC, or should I separate the two, even though they are in the same category. Thanks

Which one do you recommend for a personal real address for a married couple or two people????

Thank you so much for this information I have been struggling looking for a virtual address service for Kenosha Wisconsin for private mail with a real address to receive driver's license and all private mail 💌 God bless you 🙏

I e just went through pic with my personal back taxes. Not even 30 days past paying the they file another tax lien for the Buisness I had in 2018. They are charging me for years I didn’t have the Buisness operating. How do I proceed?

Do I have to worry about Self employment taxes and whatnot if the business does not make enough to pay myself.

Thanks for making this! These gov websites make it confusing.

Hi there. Great video. I am not a legal resident nor do I live in the USA, I am a foreigner and I have a single member LLC that I opened in November 2023. I opened the bank account with $10 and I have not sold anything, I have made no transactions yet. Do I have to declare?

Thank you. Very informative. I understand when to file form 2553. When do I file my 2 dba.s with my corporation & what form do I use ?

@Elizabeth Potts Hello, if I want to trademark “Super” but “Super Dupper” is trademarked will mines be denied? I see a lot of names close to mines with other words but not by itself.

Thank you, Elizabeth. I will be in touch regarding my other things that I would like to have done from the business perspective. Your video was very helpful and I have filed my first trademark.

The ID Manual reports that “political parties” are under class 35. However, the RNC is listed only under class 042. Why is that?

Both RNC and DNC are political parties. After a practice trademark search, I discovered the RNC has a registered word trademark, but the DNC (very politically distinctive) has nothing in any class. Why is that?

I file an ein at irs ein but i didnt get a chnacs to download my ss4 form how do i retieve that and keep it for my records because i clicked on get letter of confirmation how do i get a copy of my ss4 form from irs

Thank you for doing this video. It is very helpful! I do have a question that I am hopeful you can answer...when submitting an application (using free form text option) and only wanting to submit for "class 21" (for example) as a whole....and you are not 100% sure what your exact products will be...what should you input in the text box in that section? As I understand it, you can get more specific later in the process but it is unclear what to put in that box in the meantime. I hope that makes sense.

This is the best so far !!!

Hello and thank you for this video. I have a quick question about the end of your teaching. I have currently a DBA and a EIN number and I am offering Engineering Consultation. I am starting now another business which has nothing to do with my Engineering business, a totally other area. So according to your teaching I do not need another EIN number correct, but I can have a separate business account. Thanks so much

Awesome info Elizabeth. Thank you!

how about to search logo that was registered

Hello! Thankyou so much for all of the information you’re providing. A EIN is also needed to buy wholesale?

Hi @ElizabethPW and what if the amendment s for my corp are not available to choose meaning they are grey and I’m not able to click on it what first it mean?

So im a truck driver and i have my LLC, im looking into opening a small business and wanted to know if i can put trucking and my small business into my LLC. If my small business takes off and does good, im thinking about leaving my trucking career and keep growing my small business. Would it be a smart move to keep my old llc or just open a new one? Thanks.

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the informative videos! I’m thinking about getting a Private Mailbox from the UPS Store to use as the address for opening a bank account with BoA. In your experience, would this be more likely to be accepted at a BoA branch compared to a PO Box or virtual addresses from services like AnytimeMailbox, EarthClassMail, or iPostal1?

When evaluating payroll options, it's also important to consider how well they integrate with other tools you're using. For invoicing, I've found that InvoiceBerry works seamlessly alongside various payroll systems, making it easier to manage overall business finances.

Thanks for making this video! For Northwest, where you don’t get very much mail, did you also have to fill out those USPS forms you mentioned and get them notarized? And if so, was that a separate thing you had to do on your own or did Northwest assist with that?

Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the video)

Hi Liz In the case of this clause of Indemnification I am not holding the state to account is that correct. Upon receipt of funds (either ACH or negotiation of check) for payment of this claim, you are certifying that your claim is valid and just, that all statements herein are true and correct, and that you will indemnify and hold harmless the State, its officers and employees, from any other valid claim to the property.

Really helpful video, Elizabeth - thank you!
