    Your channel is my new favorite on RUclips. I have been "in the process" of starting my own business for a ridiculous amount of time. I am a bit of an over planner and am definitely my own worst enemy. I wish I would have come across your videos when I first started down the RUclips rabbit hole a little over a year and a half ago. Don't get me wrong, I have learned a wealth of info and found some amazing other channels in that time. I have only watched 3 of your vids so far and I am delighted to say that in 45 mins-ish, I went from "in the process" to "hell yeah, let's do this!" The levity that you bring into all the seriousness dissolved the anxiety that has been building for over a year and a half!! You sir, are a Rockstar. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wish me luck!!

    Even with a great idea, team and plan, your business success depends on how well you can manage your business's finances. ... Knowing how much money is coming in and going out of your business each month (its cash flow) can also help you make strategic, fact-based decisions.

    Generally, you'll have an LLC taxed as an S-corp, provided you are earning enough that you can pay yourself a reasonable salary, and have K1 income leftover to take out of the business. Usually, the point it makes sense is about $40-50k (that you pay yourself from the business). Having an LLC gives you liability protection from business operations. It also acts as S-corp insurance, where in the case it makes sense for you to make the S election, you can back date it and be taxed as an S-corp, up to one year, with the help of a good lawyer.

    If you don't need a fully-fledged accounting package, then you can go for an invoice template in the beginning since it's the cheapest and fastest way to get started. Or if you've got more than a couple of invoices to send in the beginning, then an invoicing app such as InvoiceBerry comes in handy.
