    Great video! It really clarified things for me with starting my business. Straight to the point without fluff. Definitely a Sole Proprietorship is the way for me to go.

    Hi there, was looking for the link for Novo in your description, but I'm not seeing it. I know I can just go to the website, but I thought maybe you had an affiliate link, so I wanted to check here first!

    Can you get in trouble for being a sole proprietor and forgetting to update your license with your name? I have always paid my taxes.

    Great! breakdown and informative. I'm a freelance graphic designer and I was thinking about registering as a sole proprietorship, but I haven't generated much income so far yet. Also, I read that you do not need to register a sole proprietorship in Florida however, my question, is it still best to register as a sole proprietorship?

    5:13 I hope this doesn't sound aggressive in tone, through text, but if you what you mean by "proper" is "legal", then please clarify that. That's what I'd want to know as a viewer/potential small business owner -- "Will I get into legal trouble without this?".

    thank you for the information !! I just recently opened up my own Barbershop , and I dont know what to do . Do I need to get Self Proprietorship or an LLC ?

      You would probably want to open an LLC strictly so you can protect your personal self from the business should anything happen

    Thank you so much! You covered so many important points in this tutorial-I really appreciate it. 🙌 I just subscribed! 😊 I have a question: I’m starting two different businesses and want to start as a sole proprietor to see which one does better over the next year. Can I set one up as an MBA and the other under my personal name? That way, I can test them out while still giving them unique identities.

    I’m confused. On the link you put in your bio. Bizee, which do I select for sole proprietor? It only says Lls, S-Corporation, C-Corporation and non profit? I thought all of those are separate from sole proprietor?

    I have a job plus a sole proprietorship. I was told that if I claim my business expense on my 1040 and I dont show a profit for at least 2 years out of the first 5 years the irs will try to recover any money saved on my 1040 by claiming the business expenses plus pertly. Is this true?

    I have a question!
    If your sole proprietorship accidentally does look and end up more like a hobby... What do you do differently?
    Is it illegal to sell a service, then reinvest the service sale, into your "business"/"hobby".. I know you can write off education! Not only other things. What if you sold your service... To buy school... It's an investment in the future of the business. But yeah. What if it turns into more of a hobby.. is that illegal, or is there an option to do that... Like hobby level business to pay for skills training and higher education.. or whatever investments.. into your "hobby"/"business".. that's a great way to word that... Hobby... But how can someone legally receive money if thier entire desire is to pay for equipment or education...
    I appreciate all you do 🙏🙏💓
    God bless you 💗 in Jesus name

    why would you need a DBA if you file your taxes using your own social security number? even though the name may be different you are the business

  • @dranamarie
    @dranamarie 11 місяців тому

    Does a DBA provide any legal protection for personal assets?

    • @industrlbeatnik
      @industrlbeatnik 10 місяців тому

      To my understanding no a DBA will not protect you however that's where you would be a sole proprietor with an LLC.
