  • Are you looking for a way to start your business without too much hassle and paperwork? In this video, I'm going to be discussing sole proprietorship - an incredibly easy and simple way to set up a business without the need for complicated contracts and business structures.
    Hi everyone! My name is Rob Pasquesi and today I'm going to talk about sole proprietorships - what they are and how they can help you in setting up your own business quickly and easily. A sole proprietorship is the simplest type of business structure, which means that you don't have to worry about creating multiple legal documents or complex contracts. This makes it an ideal option for entrepreneurs who want to get their businesses off the ground quickly. So if you're looking for a straightforward way to kickstart your own venture, then stay tuned as I walk you through everything you need to know about starting a sole proprietorship!

    If you were to open a consulting business done over voice calls and the like, would you need to register your DBA in every state that you could possibly operate in?

    How can I make my address not public? I have a virtual address already. Should I use it as a mailing address during sole prop EIN application or just tell IRS that's the only address?

    Hello. I work full time but do a side business making bracelets and give spiritual guidance. Do I need to open a business license for this? If not, all I need to do is open a business bank account under a dba? Also, all supplies I buy from out of the country. Do I get tax forms from them showing I bought my supplies from them? Or a receipt is good enough? I need a list of what I need to exactly do to start this small side business. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

    Would a Sole proprietorship be best for a photography business?

    • @rob_cpa
      @rob_cpa  9 месяцев назад

      It depends on how big your business will be and what you plan to do with it later, i.e. sell.
      If you plan to have $100,000 of sales in a year, for example, you may consider an S-Corp.
      Single Member LLC is a good place to start - you will need to get an EIN, etc., but you'll have some legal protection.

    Starting an online boutique a sole proprietor. Do I just need an ein and sellers permit? Do I need to register anywhere for sole proprietor?

    • @rob_cpa
      @rob_cpa  7 месяцев назад +1

      I would ask your attorney and verify your state requirements, but if you're a sole proprietor, technically you don't need an EIN from the IRS.
      For legal protection, you may consider a single member LLC. The tax reporting is the same as a sole proprietory.

    • @rob_cpa
      @rob_cpa  10 месяцев назад

      If you're a sole proprietor and not a single member LLC, then you don't need to register..you can just start operating. Depending on your business, you may want to consider a single member llc.

    Rob, hi. Can’t find an answer to my question. Hope you can help. Can I use my initials instead of my full name for my sole proprietor business without a dba?

    • @rob_cpa
      @rob_cpa  Год назад +1

      good question - I would advise with an attorney, but with initials, you may need to file a separate form. On your schedule C, you'll use your first and last name
