    I have options where I can buy vehicles for the low…. I’d use my personal money to invest and purchase…. No leasing or bank loans needed bro. I purchased two motorcycles for our racing team for promotional marketing and mobile advertisement. Sold all my extras and fun stuff to buy the two bikes, now I rent them for music videos, photoshoots and photography set ups.

    if you already had an ein you can call to recover that ein and add additional businesses to that ein with some restrictions. this is good if you had a business and dropped it then started a new business later, or you have multuple businesses. research everything, dont take my word for it.

    If you still use the company vehicle for personal use, can you mitigate this by putting your company logo on it so that it becomes marketing? My friend suggested transferring me vehicle to my coffee business. But I still need a car for personal use too.

    This question may have been asked before, but I'm asking it again. At 4:38 you say ask that a lender does not report to your personal credit unless you default. Well, if you default, don't they have to do that anyway? If they are going to do it anyway, why ask them anything?
    I have good credit, and I know I will have to use my personal credit to qualify for buying a vehicle in my business name. But, that still requires a lender to "ding" your credit score right?

  • @taunteeluvr2

    Hey Keran,
    i don't know how often you check comments, but i had a question. Instead of getting a business auto loan to get a vehicle in your business name; Can't you simply get it under your personal name but transfer it to your LLC? Or get a personal loan either from a bank or dealership but register it in your name?
    thanks
