    • @ginnysilver
      @ginnysilver  6 місяців тому

      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.

    • @ginnysilver
      @ginnysilver  Рік тому

      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.

    Hello
    Ginny, please where can I create a DBA name for my current business?

    • @ginnysilver
      @ginnysilver  11 місяців тому +1

      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.

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?

    • @ginnysilver
      @ginnysilver  11 місяців тому +1

      @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?

    • @ginnysilver
      @ginnysilver  2 роки тому

      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.

      Correct that first year of waves $800 fee will go to 2022. You may want to consider wiating until the new year if that is a deciding factor for you
