I was taking notes on this video and had to slow the speed of your video down 0.5 so my note taking can keep up, Lol.. I also noticed you take the time to answer questions below and I think that is very cool of you! So perhaps you can help answer this question for me. What are the benefits and tax advantages of having a C-corp and utilizing a Corporate owned life insurance aka COLI? Do you have to have a C-Corp to have a COLI or can an S-Corp have a Coli? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much Aiden and keep up the great work!

So, I feel that the tax money I would be saving being S corp would go other expenses and not to my pocket.

    I am a sole proprietor with 5 employees. Already have a DBA and EIN and I'm thinking of forming an LLC. A couple questions:
    My business is an on-the-road service, and the "per mile" deduction is "YUGE" so I'm not willing to give that up. I know a corporation must deduct actual vehicle expenses. What about an LLC?
    Will I have to "reregister" my DBA?
    Will I need a new EIN?
    Will I need new bank accounts?
    Will I have to "fire" my employees as a sole proprietor, then rehire them as an LLC?
    Will my existing agreements with merchant services, phone companies, etc still be in effect? (For example I have a sweet deal with the phone company, locked in for life. If I have to negotiate as a new entity I'll lose that.)
    Will I have to formally add myself to payroll, deducting taxes as I already do with other employees? (If so, doesn't that mean I'd have to file separate taxes for the LLC?)

Usually a 3pl insurance is a better deal. 3. some W2 offers 401k or IRA but NO MATCHING. 4. on W2 Staffing agencies often take At Least %10, but many are taking 30-35%.

    If I'm starting a cleaning business with my mom and dad, we're all funding the business, we're all equal partners, should this be an LLC, or a C-Corp?

    So, if I wanted to have a book publishing company and an apparel company would it be best to do an LLC for each or have let's say, Ivonnah INC & have the two companies under that umbrella?
