    Great video. I would add only one more thing. Be sure to draft & finalize your business’ Articles of Organization if you have an LLC or Articles of Incorporation if you’ve formed a corporation (S or C). Both types of articles are a legal structure that will provide you with benefits, including debt & liability protection. Some banks like Chase may ask for it before approving you for a business credit card.

    Say you register your business, get an EIN, but life happens and you can’t work on your business by the time taxes roll around. If you made little to no profit, is it going to impact anything? (Like you’ll still owe additional personal income tax, state taxes or property tax? And will it negatively affect your credit score? Assuming you didn’t borrow any money for startup costs.)

    Hi Gillian,
    Twenty-five states in the USA now require everyone who sells anything to people who reside in each of those states to collect sales tax, and file a sales tax form for each of those states. The U.S. Supreme Court declared this legal in 2018.
    It’s an impossible task for small business owners.
    And it gets crazier. In many states various counties can each set a different sales tax rate than that of the state.
    Question: 1. How do you handle those sales tax issues in your business for each state when you sell to customers?
    Question: 2. In your courses, how are you advising your students to handle this issue when they sell to customers in various states.
    Thank you.

    Is a blog a business when you’re starting out? Or should I do these things later along the line, because I don’t know if my blog will have any traffic and if I’ll make money from it even if that’s my intention. So should I wait to do these legal steps
