I see that some people are using UPS boxes to register businesses. how does that work with PMB listed in the address?
Hi. I'm a new subscriber. I haven't searched all your videos yet.. but can you tell me if a verified phone number needs to be tied to a physical business address? Or is a PO box ok? PS.. I asked in an older video too, but not sure if you will see it. Thank you!

I have a trucking company I started in San Antonio, TX with just me on it. Then, me and my wife have a Brokerage also started in same state. She has 3 years left in military and the plan is to move back to our home town Sikeston, Mo where we actually have a building to run both business out of. What's best course of action? We were thinking of creating a management company in Missouri.
Thank you so much! I have been doing this all myself to save as much money as possible and you were simply wonderful. Clear, straight to the point, explained where necessary 👏🏼🙌🏼 I was stressing so bad and now it’s submitted!
Hi Elizabeth! Thanks for the info. What if I have a slogan with my trademark?
If only every establishment was so thorough and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Super easy!
Can government lookup the UPS mailbox address and figure out if it's not a physical/residence address?
How would you do this as a sole proprietorship? I want be a RUclips creator but was told that I would be considered as a sole proprietorship

i'm trying to file a trademark for a logo for music purposes. does this video also apply to that or is a whole different system?

Hello!! I've heard that I must make at least $60k with $20k of distributions for a S Corp to work financially. Is this true?
Hi there! Question~ how much later on in the process are the rest of the filing fees due, when filing the TEAS standard application? Is the standard version technically less of a financial risk, since the fees for multiple categories aren't all due up front-- (even though it's more expensive per category than TEAS+)? I'm stressing about whether to file my TM in multiple categories, or just try getting my TM registered in my primary category first. Thank You!
Thank you!
Hi Elizabeth, thanks for the great video and all that you do. One question; I had a California single member llc and recently completed the articles of conversion for the state of Florida when I changed residency. If I understand correctly, since I will no longer be conducting business in California and the llc is in good standing, then I only need to file the certificate of cancellation in California. Is this correct? Thanks again for all the great content!
If you start with one particular class can you later add a class as you scale your business? ❤ or should you do all your possibilities in the first place, if that makes sense…. ?❤

I set up my business with Legal Zoom years ago...do I still need to keep paying yearly for legal form renewal? whatever that is?
Extremely helpful, now I can ignore all those attorney's that are emailing me! Thank You!
So then a trust wouldn't be able to be the sole owner of the S-Corp? But would a trust be allowed to own an LLC than then elects to be taxed as a S-Corp?
Very clear, and extremely helpful
Dear Elizabeth, Great video and tons of good information. Thank you very much!!. I just started my shoes business and it's made with native fabric and genuine leather. My sales are online, and promptly in a store. Do I need it to pick one class or two classes? One for shoes and another for retail and online? Which Class and Term ID do I have to choose?. I'm building a website and I will not only sell shoes I will like to sell t-shirts, bags, and small items made with fabric to match the shoes. I don't want to invest much money if it's not need it. I'm a solopreneur. I appreciate your prompt response. Thank you again.💖
SO helpful! Wish I'd have found your video prior to hours and hours of research. Thank you!🤩
If my dad had a business but gave it to my husband and wants nothing to do with the business how can we stop this ein to be associated to my dad and have it under my husbands name instead?
I've posted this question on a few business channels looking for one person to know the answer so I can move forward 🥹: If I have registered my business with a DBA/sole proprietor and I set up a virtual mailing address, will ALL my mail (business and personal) now be forwarded to the virtual mailing address, including amazon packages etc.? Does going through the notary process and transferring my mail mean there is no longer a separation between personal and business mail since I'm a sole proprietor? This is my only reservation about setting up a virtual mailing address. I would like a way to keep a separation between my business and personal mail.
Thank you for this video
Which do you recommend for a professional business?
Hi Elizabeth, do I need to submit any photos for intent-to-use packaging to proof of logo usage?
If I hardly work, how can I prove that? The idea of an s corp for me seems great because my business is set up to , for the most part, run itself. But in the event of an audit, will I be forced to pay myself a higher salary without proving that I basically do little to no work? I'm a bit confused on that. I'm afraid my distribution to salary ratio will be very skewed but what can I do when I put at most an hour or two a week into my work? Do I need to be paying myself thousands of dollars per hour of salaried work?
Thanks for the info! made it simple, clean and to the point.
I'm starting a google search and see people already using that name. I also see some with different spelling of it and services may be similar but not quite exact as what class I want to trademark. Are there rules on the name and area it is filed? I see multiple businesses using practically the same name and wondering why that can be done... I'm questioning whether I should even DBA/trademark this name.
hi, I have seven properties in Los Angeles under my name. I'm going to form an LLC to protect myself. each property has between 500 and 1.5 million in equity. should I just create on LLC and get umbrella insurance or form one LLC for each property and get umbrella insurance? thank you for your help. your videos are the best I've found. Thank you Elizabeth
