So, what do you think? Do you want to start a ⭐UA-cam LLC⭐?
Ian Corzine yes yes yes!!
@@ModernDayTech Hey MDT! Well, since you're almost at 10k, you definitely need it -- reach out if you need help brother!
@From Dusk Till Dawn Thanks so much FDTD!
@MisplayTV Hey Misplay! I love your country! -- spend many a day there North and South. Hmmm, very interesting question. It obviously depends on HOW France adopts Article 13 -- but yes, conceivably, if you transfer ownership of your UA-cam channel to an American LLC and publish via an American IP address, this may be a solution to the problem. I will do more research and watch how Article 13 is adopted, and then YES, I would be happy to discuss it via video. Thanks so much for your support!
@MisplayTV See you later!
How Helpful was this video, Thank you! Great information!

Thank you Ian! Big Man Certified is safe! LLC Power 💪
Such great information! And for us law students it's good to see where we will be able to help creators once we are out of law school! I never thought about helping creators set up and LLC but it makes sense why you would want a lawyer to help to make sure it's drafted best for you personal channel!! Awesome video, see you in a week!!
Hey Chris! Thanks so much for watching 👊😀See you in a week, BUD!
So Good! This is exactly the reason why I stopped doing things as a Sole Proprietor!
I wonder what would happen if you put their faces and names in the thumbnail and title 😉
Haha! Thanks Brandon -- yeah, still figuring out the balance between relevance and WoW! factor as it relates to quality views / subs. Maybe an A/B test is in order???
This is invaluable content. My wife has built a successful UA-cam channel over the last two years and we are just starting the process of making a LLC. Thanks for the info!
love your videos! Always so helpful!
Hey Sierra! Thanks so much for watching! Is your business already formed, yet? Have you considered different business entities?
Scary Stuff! Thank You for this valuable information Ian

Just subscribed your videos are of quality and importance. Thanks

@@iancorzine Yes, totally, that energy comes shinning through for sure!
Oh wow, that's nuts! Glad I have an LLC already 👍
You got it locked down? Nice! Great job Clif! Thanks for watching!
Wow super informative video Ian thank you
Did mine after the second video and I saw how fun this is. Long way to grow but protected fun is alway best. :)
Hey Gene! So smart -- I always knew you were the smart one of the bunch!
Is it smart or just fear of lawyers? :)
FEAR OF LAWYERS 👹
Glad i saw this. Think its about time I get one
wow that's great stuff Ian. In my case it's more about a standard LLC but the youtube LLC could be a nice addon.
Yeah, LLC's whatever the type really help you with taxes and liability protection. Thank you very much for watching and contributing!
Great Video and perfect timing, Ian. I plan to get an LLC today. When my channel grows, I will reach out to your firm and get a more custom LLC for my channels needs. Thanks for the great info!! - Kelly
Hey K-Swayze! I love hearing that -- I really think it is the best way to go for you and your channel --and I'm here when you need me! Thanks for watching 👊🏼😀
Same here man! Good luck on you channel Duder! Def Subbed!!
Thanks Ian! This is really something to think about. I don't want to lose my house, car, wife and kids because of a potential lawsuit in the future.
Well, 🙏🏻 It is a real smart move. Doesn’t cost that much to protect yourself!!!
Ian, Thanks for this
Very informative. Im surprised thisbdoesnt have millions of views by now. Im starting my business plan and was researching LLC for my state. But didnt consider that I need to be more specific and get a UA-cam LLC. Thanks.
Thank you, great info😀
Another Good One Ian. I'm actually thinking of throwing my hat into the ring and getting a channel off the ground. With over 30 or so years of experience in Music, Audio Engineering, Radio, Graphic Design, and other useful tools the one thing I was never keen on was all of the current laws that one should know before starting such a venture. I remember towards the ending days of my last run station they were about to update, actually totally update the guidelines with the percentage of royalties that needed to be paid to musicians for streamed content and that pushed a big chunk of us out of the game because the incurred costs were just too high if you weren't running tons of advertising. Long story short, I know that I want to make the company I already have on the books, at least on paper with the State of New Jersey, an LLC because obviously if I do end up running monetized videos, I know that Uncle Sam is going to want his cut every April and it amazes me the number of Creators I talk to that say, oh screw that I don't have to pay taxes on that stuff. I'll do things by the book rather than be sorry down the line. But I don't know how I got such off-topic, My question is simple, hopefully, What constitutes as online defamation in a UA-cam Video? Is it a blatant lie about someone else, or can you have someone trying to sue you for calling them names like an idiot, brainless, and harsher words in the same vein? You don't have to get too detailed, as I'm good at reading between the lines. I know I've been commenting a bunch on quite a few of your videos, just let me know when I'm overstepping my bounds. In addition to an answer here and there I find it also good for those out there reading the comments as they might eventually find something in one of mine that might help them out.
Thanks Ian,
Shawn

You might as well give it a try. Everyone is doing it. 🤔
Oh really?!?! Hahaha good to know
Great video!
That is so scary. Thanks for teaching me!
Thanks Maddy!
This was great!
Ohhhhhh boy am I confused!!! I thought I had to be a sole proprietorship but now I see this video! My channel is growing, little by slow but I know I need to do this and quickly!
Amazing tips Ian!
Hey Brittany! Thanks for watching!
Thank you.
thank you!
Great info.thank you!
You are so welcome Marilou!! Thank you for watching. 👊😀
Thanks for the video I although my chanel is new and I don't plan to intentionaly do anything that would negatively affect anyone, I still seriously think about an LLC.
Hi Joel!! Well, thanks for watching. 👊😁 Make sure you keep this in mind when your are rich and famous!
@@iancorzine I'm rich and famous now I have 23 subscribers and I'll get back to you on the rich part.
Another fire 🔥 video
Thank you my Brother! I can’t wait to meet up with you - you going to VidSummit?
Great video MA! Thank you for teaching me how to protect the assets of my youtube empire 😜😂
Olga, I hear you. Building a "UA-cam Empire" can be such a long and slow process...
MA! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, protect your empire as well as being sued by Cardi B!
Ian, my friend! Would you like to be General Counsel for the Galactic Empire? While Emperor Palpatine is a bit of a curmudgeon, the bonuses are quite nice. Furthermore, the hours aren’t too horrendous. Jokes aside, another great video. After you and I saw each other in Nick Nimmin’s stream, I left because I had errands. Later on I saw he was still streaming and he wound up doing a review for me.
As for an LLC, this is something I think I’ll look into as my channel grows. I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, but I do think it is crucial to play it safe. I also am going to look into trademarking my name. But man, these lawyers....$$$$ 🤷🏻♂️. 👍🏻😁
Hey Stormey! Really??? That's awesome -- did you get some good information from him?
Ian - yeah, so since it was May the 4th, I gave him another superchat and said “In the spirit of May the 4th, can you kindly check out my channel?” He had the helmet beside him so I figured I had a shot. He wrapped a call and said sure and that the timing was perfect.
So he said one thing I kind of already knew- he saw my channel and said the banner doesn’t say anything about what my channel is (Precious Metals & Prepping with a Star Wars angle). So I need to add something beneath my name to indicate this. He said it’s good I have playlists, but I should add the playlists to my landing page on UA-cam (immediately made this switch). Then he said my thumbnails are good, but again, if I’m hitting the Precious Metals niche, I should incorporate more precious metals in the thumbnails. This was something I have already started doing because I noticed this myself a few weeks ago. So going forward, I’m going to have more metals visible in my thumbnails.
He said the novelty of the stormtrooper is great so keep going with it. Lastly, he said since I’m under 1k subs, consider taking the Instagram and other social media links off the banner so I don’t direct people away. I actually don’t think that is necessary in my opinion.
I’ve been at this just 3 months as of yesterday and hit 600 subscribers. I’m also in a tiny niche so there’s only so far my channel can grow. I think what separates me, though, from others in the precious metals stacking community, IS the Star Wars angle. Once i hit 1k subs or more, I’m going to start networking in the various Star Wars channels and try to start targeting some of that audience.
Ian, thanks for this very informative video, I am a new UA-camr and soon I plan to set up an LLC for my channel. Not just to protect me but also to "run it like a business." After all, if I buy equipment or something like that, I want to be able to write it off.
What I don't understand is, does Google pay me directly? How do I get them to pay my LLC instead? That's one piece I don't understand. Thank you.
Long-term I think my goal is to own a holding company with the UA-cam LLC as part of it, and another company underneath it for rental properties, and who knows maybe someday some other businesses as part of it, too. But that gets legally quite complicated.
GREAT VIDEO IAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much DANNY!!!! 👊😁
Ian Corzine 👊😁
Thanks for the info Ian! I definitely in behind the game and have to start a UA-cam LLC. You know anybody reputable that does this kind of service in Pennsylvania?
Hi, Ian! Thank you for the video/info! I have a question.. what if you're starting a business and are going to use UA-cam just to attract consumers. Should I still have an LLC for my UA-cam channel or would it just be the same as my original business entity? I hope this question makes sense.
Hey Ian, I’m in Florida, for my little UA-cam business, do I just need limited liability insurance ? What other insurances may I need? This sounds like a great video to make
I learned my state does not need me to post in the local newspaper! which is great bc I wanna stay anonymous and I don't want fans finding clues once I get big enough for that to be a concern.
Yes. that is a thing. for SOME FRICKEN REASON it's still a thing.
Thanks for the info. I have 2 questions I would like to ask.:
When starting a UA-cam page(s), do I need to jump straight out the gate with an LLC?? ... or can I start a personal account to get rolling, then form an LLC a little later - before the channel becomes popular?
Secondly, If I launch [say] 5 Channels at one time, should I create these pages under a personal account -- then once things get going, should I then wrap the 5 channels under 1 LLC? ... or would I need 5 LLC's?
Thanks in advance. Just subbed.
Once you have made the LLC, how do you go about tying it to your UA-cam channel, like if I get LLC today and tomorrow I get defamation sued, am I protected? or do I have to sync it to my channel somehow
Just pay him - & he will tell you
thanks
You are so welcome!! AND thank you for watching my friend. 👊😁
Love how he says that she will have to give up her jewelry…….. Like a judge knows what jewelry you have in your home.🙄 However, an LLC is a good idea to insulate yourself personally.
Some heavy stuff here.
Absolutely! But definitely worth thinking about when we are all rich and famous!! Thanks for watching. 👊😁
Quick question. If I create an LLC for my UA-cam channel, Can I keep depositing the Adsense payment directly to my personal bank, or do I have to get the money to the llc first and then write myself a check?
Awesome
Thanks for watching!
@@iancorzine so sweet though your very welcome
I have a question..would I need more than 1 LLC if I have multiple channels? Or would I be able to cover both channels under 1 LLC? Thank you for the info..new sub!!
Hey Ian does having a disclaimer in the description of our videos such as the one in your description protect us at all?
Hey Quinn. Yes. It basically does the best we can do as professionals to put people on notice that we are not their principals or counselors -- we are just putting as accurate of information as possible out there for public consumption. Thanks for watching!
btw .. your low light video quality is superb!
Thank you sir!! 👍
The fact that this man knows more about cardi b tea than me is hilarious. I was wondering why people are always talking about this Tasha K character but never cared enough to look into it.
Hey brother I have a question. I teach about the Bible in my UA-cam channel and my financial advisor is recommending me to create an educational nonprofit for my channel and then pay myself a salary. Is that the best shot, or is an LLC the best option? My concern with creating a nonprofit organization is that all the money spent has to be justified legally and I wouldn’t be able to cash out a big Amount of money randomly from the corp’s debit card
Should I do an LLC stand alone or as a DBA underneath another business? For UA-cam Channel purposes
I am a Californian and the state charges LLCs $800/yr from my understanding. Nevada is a no state tax state, but my understanding is that if you live in California you cannot get around CA’s LLC or business fees or taxes by opening a company or LLC as a Nevada business if you don’t reside there. Is this true?
I love the thumbnail!
Thanks so much ABC U! Have you formed an LLC or other business entity, yet?
@@iancorzine how big of a youtuber should you be before forming an LLC? I havent monetized my channel yet. Does that happen afterward?
@@GabeWave99 Hey ABC -- I am obviously super sensitive to liability concerns for my UA-camr clients, and so I would say right away -- I mean why not? It does cost a little, but the protections it can offer are enormous.
@@iancorzine If I form an LLC and don't make any money this year do I still have to include that in my tax return paperwork
@@GabeWave99 Yes, your CPA would help you include LLC income / loss in your tax return. And if you did not make any money this year, he / she could help you offset your loss. BUT, I think you're going to make money!
Good explanation Ian! What's the advantage of a LLC over an S-Corp?
Hey Real World! The main advantage is that you can write off MORE business expenses than you can with an S. S is good if you want your business to have an "independent" life away from its shareholders -- I put UA-camrs in LLCs to allow them more active management of their businesses. Thanks for watching, my friend!
@@iancorzine selling humans is not a valid business and is very illegal
Hi I have a question: I'm planning to open a company in the US (not yet sure if LLC or corporation) as a non-resident. However, this company should be owned by a local corporation here in Switzerland that will exist only in a few months. Is it difficult to change the owner of the company from myself to this other company later? What are the registration fees?
Question... if your home is your studio and your LLC address... but you don't use your UA-cam money to pay your mortgage... are you good? How's that work?
For a channel just starting out, making no income, do you need an LLC to take advantage of the equipment write-offs purchased throughout the year?
You almost sold me on getting my own LLC.But then you said 200 bucks for the filing? No can do.I don;t make that in a year.I just won;t dis anyone on my UA-cam channel, that way nobody has reason to sue me.
Yeah, that's a good plan!
With the LLC, do I need a UA-cam Brand Account or can I use a personal UA-cam account under my LLC? I currently have a personal account and I have an LLC. How do I put my channel under my LLC?
Hey Ian, would an LLC protect you even if it was thinly capitalized?
Hey Tom! It’s all relative - if you’re making $250/mo on AdSense and have $500 in the LLC bank acct, that is adequate capitalization. So yes, I always recommend an LLC - even if it your business’ beginning stage.
if im starting youtube channel should I start it as a personal account and then change it over once it looks like i can start earning money? or should i start it as a business account from the start and if so do i need to have the LLC before hand?
Would this be the same for S-corp? Would the LLC be better than S-Corp for UA-camrs and Instagramers?
I have less than 10k subscribers should I start as Individual/Sole proprietor then later change to llc? It is needed for youtube Adsense account thanks.
Do I need an LLC for each UA-cam channel that I have? ? Or a dba for each UA-cam channel that I have?
Who has $1500 laying around? What I need to do is to figure out how to not get my name put on as an officer as I have stalkers but I sure don't have $1500 to toss around.
Which state is the most beneficial to have an llc
Another question, I have been really successful with the channel under my name. If I change to an LLC, is UA-cam going to pay me less for being a corporate?
I don't typically voice my opinions on people on my channels. It's mostly theories about games on this one and information based on research and experience on the other (also a lot of opinion and I state that as a disclaimer on that channel, alternative healing methods). Is it still better to have an LLC? You mentioned I can research myself and probably pay a fee of around a few hundred dollars. Is that per year or is it a one-time fee? Thx.
It's always better to have an LLC to protect you. $200 is a one time fee, but you also have to pay taxes -- some states have a minimum tax per year. You have to check that out for your state. Thank you for watching!
Awesome. Thanks!
Edit: It looks like in Canada I can't get an LLC. I already have a registered small business. The next step would be to Incorporate it once I make more than $30K a year and can have tax numbers. That's interesting to know.
Hi there, Im not an USA resident, can I open an LLC to operate my UA-cam channel and receive ny money in the US?
Can you do it from Turkey? Do you jabe to pay something? Ocean if your income is low. Could you make something so you domt have to pay more than you earn? I mean 20 to 30 percent of my income is okay bit not 50 or 60
What if they operated through an entity like a llc an then ended up using that llc for youtube
I live in California and Nevada. I shoot most of my videos in Nevada can I start an LLC in Nevada but have a mailing address in California?
Hi quick question, Do my channel UA-cam name has to be the same as an LLC name or I can choose a different for UA-cam and still get protected some how?

Can my LLC be named different than my youtube channel?
What if the UA-camr has a channel controlled by a non statutory entity? Wouldn't a non statutory entity with insurance/bonding cover the risk just as well if not better?
One for holding the Channel and another entity to manage the business side. Your reply would be much appreciated.

Good insight on LLC but I have questions. Is the LLC necessary for any and all new youtubers? (zero-day youtube accounts). Is an LLC also for a youtuber who created a channel to be a blogger and who doesnt upload videos and nothing more? Is a LLC necessary for a youtuber who uploads videos but doesnt monetize? Is there a higher risk of making a video of a product review showing a product that fails?
No -- an LLC is not absolutely necessary -- like in the way insurance on your house is not absolutely necessary BUT it is a REALLY good idea. I recommend to all my clients that they form an LLC -- even if they are not making money -- the legal protection from lawsuits is the key.
@@iancorzine Thank you. This helps me make a better decision on the LLC. ✅
What should 3 individuals involved in a UA-cam channel do? Taxes, profits, protection, etc?
Do you have to be making money prior as a UA-camr to start an LLC or could you do it with no income generated at all? My point being, could you register as an LLC and then write off video equipment, travel expenses, hotel stays etc. under your LLC in tax? Lets say, you wanna be a travel photographer part time, is it more beneficial to already have had a following on social media, to already have brand deals etc. PRIOR to starting an LLC, or could you start off with virtually nothing and be on no profit until you build said following?

But you did not tell how expensive personal taxes can be :)
It can go up too as 40% lol
Do you have letter so i can start educating small businesses on why they are breaking the law on mask mandates?
Why should youtuber get llc instead of s corp? You save on s corp?
How about if we live in Canada? What is the LLC equivalent here?

What advice would you give to UA-cam Creators who live and operate outside of the USA?
Hey RPG! I would form an LLC in the States. Over time, there may be a way out of restrictions on UA-cam that you face in your country. Are you doing live game streaming videos?
@@iancorzine Streaming Videos? I will consider doing so, once I have a lot more subs. Right now, this is just a pleasurable hobby. :-)
