Ginny, I have been a loyal follower since the start of 2020. You are the only reason I was able to get my max PUA. I have learned so much from you and looking forward to your future videos I am struggling to try to get my LLC registered and apply for the SBA 7a loan can you help me?
You are the best. I’m in the non paying end of the cannabis industry. All your suggestions are amazing. Could you please speak slower for us slow learners. Love, your fan Artemis
Very clear explanation. Thank you for this video! Just a question, do I need to obtain business permit first in my city before continuing on filing my llc?
Because your city and the state operate differently, you can register an LLC first to ensure that your LLC name is granted and then register for your business license and other requirements with your city after as the next step.
Thank you for all of the helpful information. I have question I hope you can help me answer. Our business is ran from our home (online business) which is outside of the city, we're in a county area so that is where I requested the business registration/ license BUT our virtual address is in a different city ( very close by). Should I have gotten the license/ registration from the city where our virtual address is located? The virtual address is also what I plan to use on our LLC... All that to ask, should a business license be held in the city where the virtual address is attended and is listen on LLC or where our home is located and online business is ran? THANK YOU for your time.
You must choose one consistent business location and register your business to that location. You can then choose a diferent mailing address on some documents which request a mailing address, but your business location registered address must all be consistent. If using a virtual address, make sure it isn't simply a virtual mailbox - but an a virtual address/office which specifically states you are allowed to use it in your business registration. You can use a home address - but it will be on public record.
Visit calgold.ca.gov, enter in your location, and the search results will include the office/website for your county's DBA or fictitious business name application. It is usually done through the county clerk recorders office.
@@ginnysilver Ginny you are so amazing and smart! Thank you very much! Could I please ask you another question? I have already been there and they told me that this DBA name will work only for the current county (MY COUNTY) :| My LLC is national wide and I want the same DBA too) will this DBA name only work in a certain county or it doesn't matter where I use it?
@user-rc9yl8xb2x DBAa are registered on the county level, and LLCs are state level. In order to use a name exclusively nationwide you would need to get the name as a registered trademark with the US parents offocw
Hi Ginny, any updates on those of us who were sent a letter saying we need to pay back unemployment benefits? Account is still showing a negative balance, but haven't received any correspondence from the EDD since. Are the states forgiving those repayments?
No, that would be something unique to your own situation that you have to handle with the EDD by appealing the decision or paying the overpayment - that will not be forgiven. I have many videos on my channel home about appeals and overpayments.
Hello Ginny! I want to file for LLC now. Will I lose my first waived year in this case since it is almost the end of the year? Or would it be better to start LLC after January 1st? Thank You!
@@ginnysilver Wife now cause we got married hahaha She is doing fine and found out it was gonna be a baby boy with the reveal party that was on Sunday! Thank you for always checking up on your loyal supporters 😬💜
Excellent video, but the background music drives me nuts!!! It's way to loud and frankly, it's totally unnecessary. It's totally distracting from what you are saying. What's the hurry in talking and editing??? For example at the 2:33 mark, you cut off the next word!!! The word 'fee' is missing! You're in soooo much of a hurry that you're actually cutting off words. People need time to digest what you are saying. It's like shoveling more food into their mouth before they have had a chance to chew and swallow what's they're already chewing. Please take this in a constructive way. I appreciate and applaud your fine work, but it can be made much better by slowing down and pausing between sentences or ideas. I would seriously think of remaking this video. Thanks.
Hmm...I get much more negative feedback on a slower pace - that majority comments that I am "talking down to them" at a slower pace. You are welcome to adjust the playback speed on the RUclips player to a slower speed. Best wishes!
@@ginnysilver Thanks Ginny. Good suggestion. If you slowed wayyyy down, then I could see how people would feel like you're talking down to them, but I'm sure there's no way they would think that if you matched the average speed or cadence of the average informative RUclips video. Take for example, videos by Dr. Eric Berg or Dr. Turley. They don't talk exceptionally fast of close cut their edits, they pause and are perfectly understandable. No one has said they feel 'talked down to' in their videos. I hope what I'm saying can help. I could have stood by and said nothing, but I really want to do what I can to see your channel be the best it can be because there's a great benefit in your advice. People need time to mentally digest what's said. Just my two cents worth. Take Care.
@@ginnysilver Forgot to ask, what's your thoughts about the background music (sounds)? Do you think it's necessary? Does it help or interfere with the spoken message?
