Thank you so much from my heart for your time and dedication to sharing this wonderful education. I’m currently on my one year deployment in Arizona and I’m so stressed and overwhelmed with my mission. I miss home and my family so I’m trying to do something fun and productive with my time. I love to watch your videos a lot. Please don’t stop doing this. ❤

Omg a NYer crafter! Finally! I only know of you n the Huntress as NY based KZreadrs. I’m so happy I thought being a crafter in NY is nearly impossible because the lifestyle out here. Thank you!

I always thought starting a business to be a scary, complicated process, but you make it seem simple and not scary at all! Thank you, I may put my fear aside and just consider going for it in the near future!

Thank you Amy! I’m a textile crafter and have been researching the Cricut to speed up my pattern making/cutting time. Looking forward for your updated Cricut business video in the new year. 🥰🥰

This was the most helpful advice that I’ve seen in one video! I’ve been slowly researching for 2 months now about business details to start it up. My main concern is if I should still take out a personal loan or not to help?

A lot of craft KZreadrs are questionable at best, especially KZreadrs that focus on Etsy. This is a breath of fresh air. Thank you for making business registration seem less intimidating. I'm from Jersey and the process is very similar.

Can or do you have a video on how to set up for a small business? Like how to set up shipping and handling- online payments and creating labels and things like that

Love your videos! They're easy to follow, keep me engaged and super resourceful. Question for you, should you open a business bank account from the beginning or wait until you're registered (making a steady income) and need to keep transactions seperate? What's your recommendation?

@CricketsBay

Immediately. Always keep business and personal finances separate for tax purposes. It can cause a lot of problems if you don't.

Can you discuss registered agents? Why they are necessary, what paper work they handle? I don't think I saw it in video so excuse me if you already spoke on it.

Did you create an LLC or what kind of business did you create with this process? Thanks!

So glad ifound you! Especially since I just got my cricut ! About to create a notebook to note everything . Do you have any pdf guidance or worksheets ?

Q? Do we pay to have an etsy account? (i.e. do they chrge a monthly fee?)

Hello! I have a few questions! If I make my business a sole proprietorship can I change it to an LLC or corp if I find myself making a lot of money (we hope for this!!) Also how did you chose a corp instead of sole priopership or LLC? Thank you so so much!

Hi, I'm having trouble filling out the industry part. Do I call it arts and crafts or homemade products? Help please. Thanks

Amy how to register your business with cricut?

So you talked a lot about copywrite and the TESS. Does that work for trademark too?

Delaware is the best state to register ANY business!!

Thanks for sharing this, very appreciated! I do have a question. When I do start my “business”, until I know I’ll make more than $5000 a year can I just keep doing my thing as a “hobby” and not register it and not pay taxes or how does it work? New in the country so literally everything is new for me. Xoxo

I would encourage you to consult with an accountant/tax specialist for all the specifics/government rules at both state and federal levels, to avoid any mistakes/to be safe legal-wise.

Does this apply to Etsy shop owners or would it be a different process?

@lisad6721

Etsy states something along the lines of the vendors abiding by law/requirement for a business according to their jurisdiction. For example, i'm interested in starting up my own business through Etsy, however I will be registering it because according to my province (canada), I must register my business. That's just my research knowledge, I'm no professional though.

How come you picked a S-corp over llc?

@dropshoteverything8149

S corp is so that if you get sued, only your “business” side that will get sued, not your personal.

What is the difference between corporation and sole proprietor about craft?

Is there way to register business illegally?

Do you need to EIN for taxes purposes?

@AmyMakesThat

2 жыл бұрын

If you have your business registered, it is recommended and also depends on the type of business! You’ll need an EIN # to file taxes, open a business bank account, and apply for business licenses. Some wholesale websites will also ask for an EIN #.

@Meggggomyeggo

It depends on the business structure. A sole prop or single member LLC may use their social security number for tax purposes and opening a business bank account. Source: it’s my job to collect documents to open business accounts for a national bank. You do not need an EIN for either of those structures to apply for a business license.
