    Is my roommates small business legal?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:52 PM PDT

    Hi! Posting here because I don't know where else to go.

    TL;DR: I want to evict my shitty roommate who's home personal training business is ruining my and the other tenants living experience. Who do I call and is what he doing illegal? We live in LA and the landlords are negligent.

    The Context:

    I have a roommate who began personal training clients in a backyard home gym during quarantine. At first we understood, but now It has become completely out of control.

    Blaring music at 8am-5pm that he refuses to shut off. 15+ strangers on our property every day talking loudly (and taking our parking spaces.) 1/2 of our backyard completely filled with equipment that the rest of us hardly use. It's a lot. The neighbors have complained, and the roommate himself is a drunken, steroid using handful who is not a good roommate.

    All of this to say- he is a nuisance with a tendency to become aggressive and we want to evict him. We need as much leverage for the eviction conversation as possible.

    Is his business even illegal? Who do I contact that can provide/enforce pressure that isn't a landlord?

    Sorry for the long post. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    EDIT: I didn't mention this before because I was trying to keep it as objective as possible. But the dude is a 2 time felon with multiple DUIs. He lied to us during his application process and drunkenly revealed this info to us 6 months ago. He is good at what he does now but operates under different moral circumstances than us. He pushes the envelope and gets very aggressive at times. He is manifest-destinying the living space and it's causing issues with us and the neighbors.

    Taxes Paid On New Business Investments?

    Posted: 29 May 2021 01:29 AM PDT

    I am currently growing a small business. Without throwing exact figures out there, let's say that I'm running Business A, and out of $200,000 total annual revenue, I made $50,000 total profit ($150,000 expenses/COGS). If I take that $50,000 profit and invest in a new business venture B, will I have to pay tax on that $50,000? Both businesses are separate LLCs, and they are in completely different industries (Business A being marketing/real estate, and Business B being software development). I am sole owner of both LLCs.

    HELPPP!!! PPP Forgiveness!

    Posted: 29 May 2021 02:25 AM PDT

    Hey everyone! I understand that I can wire transfer PPP funds from one personal account to another with the description noted as "owners compensation".... I've started paying myself weekly about three weeks ago, each amount was different. Today is my "payday", can I just transfer all the funds as owners compensation or will I not be eligible for forgiveness due to how I initially started wiring myself funds weekly instead of transferring the entire loan to another account as "owners compensation"? I'm a sole proprietor with no employees.

    I've made a Content calendar for small Businesses

    Posted: 29 May 2021 01:20 AM PDT

    I found many small businesses just spamming their social media feeds with just Product photos. So, I decided to create a content calendar to help them and every month it's updated and sent to you by me.

    Here is the link to Content Calendar, but if you ask why content calendar is important on social media. My answer is no one is going to stay just for product photos, people stay for who you are and what you mean to them.

    My goal is to help 100k people with their business. How can I help!?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:30 PM PDT

    Hey friends, just wanted to put this out to the Internet. :)

    I do a mix a web design, visual content and digital marketing for small businesses and my wife has a handmade soy candle business.

    So, we've learned a lot a lot that we want to share with others wanting to create or are currently running their own business.

    I'm currently working on more resources and ways to help small businesses but I would love to personally connect, chat and brainstorm with some business owners.

    Sometimes just chatting with others creating their own biz can motivate and help you think of new ways to improve your product or market your services differently.

    I truly want to connect with other small business owners and lend any ideas or advice that I can.

    I'm calling it the 100k crew!

    Maybe it sounds weird, but I think if we can help each other out, then the money will come later. Value first.

    Anyways, if anyone is up for connecting, just message me on here or on Instagram @atomicpixel.co

    Things I can shed light on: - creating business and e-commerce websites - creating photos and video content - getting your first clients -shipping logistics and tips - finding new channels and partnerships

    Cheers gang! Tuan

    How much would you pay for an ecommerce app?

    Posted: 29 May 2021 04:10 AM PDT

    I'm a software developer and I've recently developed an ecommerce smartphone application that can work with any existing ecommerce website.

    I'm giving the application away to any ecommerce website owner for any voluntary monetary contribution they can give me so that I can gain testimonials before I launch.

    On my part, I'd like to reserve the right to share the services I perform for your business on my portfolio, and to also mention your business name.

    If anyone here wants an ecommerce smartphone application for their business, then I'd love to work with you, I will only be doing this for a limited number of businesses before I launch.

    It's not free however, you can pay any amount you think is reasonable.

    Product Catalog Help

    Posted: 28 May 2021 06:56 PM PDT

    I'm still fairly new to this whole reddit thing, so I figure this is the best place to ask since I have a small business in need of some help.

    I was recently tasked with updating our item catalog, last revised 2019 (scary i know) and cannot figure out a way to include everything. We nearly doubled our products, maybe around 50-70 now; and can't keep sending our customers a table with photos and sizes, and telling them to call about more products. I was wondering if there were any good websites or programs to use to make a sleek, elegant catalog of our products (without prices, but with the sizes the products come in).

    If there aren't any good programs that exist, would it be worth to hire someone on one of those design completion sites or Fiverr?

    Any ideas of what could I start with 2000 euros in the nursing field?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 11:48 AM PDT

    I'm studying to become a nurse – first year. I love it. All the knowledge about anatomy, nursing techniques, pharmacology, etc., fascinates me.

    I am currently working at an online marketing company, but I started to hate it. I want to start something on my own, be my own boss, and fight to form my finances the best I can while doing something that I actually like.

    I could start something (small) that has to do with nursing, but I'm not sure what that could be.

    My requirements:

    - it has to be online

    - starting with 2000 euros

    - something that could bring me 1500 euros/ month (with time, of course)

    Could you please give me some advice or ideas?

    Thank you very much! 😊

    Are you exhibiting at trade shows this year?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:42 AM PDT

    Pretty much the title. One of our two big shows went virtual; the other is set for in-person in July.

    Although I am vaccinated and they are spacing out the booths somewhat, I don't love the idea of being there. And while the mask mandate is in place I the convention center now, I doubt it will be then. And if I'm wrong and masks are still required - people have trouble hearing me on a good day.

    I have a colleague who is willing to go instead of me but virus issues aside I'm having trouble believing the expense of the show will be worthwhile. The only counterpoint is I know 2-3 of my competitors will be there.

    Are you exhibiting at trade shows this year? Attending to walk the floor and talk to strangers?

    Employee review = employee feeling "disrespected"

    Posted: 28 May 2021 12:32 PM PDT

    Background: I own a small manufacturing business with my partner. He is the primary point person for all activity on the shop floor; I take care of all the front-of-house and admin details. But this is a small shop and I do spend a lot of time observing things on the shop floor; Partner and I are also very communicative with each other about what's going on in our respective spheres of expertise.

    We recently had to have a come-to-Jesus conversation with one of our employees. Essentially: we understand everyone has off moments but your performance has been steadily decreasing for a while and we've reached the tipping point so step up and do the work or this employment relationship is over.

    Employee asked for specific examples of where/how he wasn't performing and I gave him a rundown of several. I'd practiced talking these points thru with Partner because I suspected the question would come up and because I wanted to be sure that my tone stayed even throughout.

    Somewhere in the middle of this conversation, Employee trotted out his feeling that he deserves to be paid better because he can do X. This was another issued Partner and I had playacted in advance. I explained that while we appreciate that he can do X, he is not the first or the last employee who has been able to or will be able to do X, he's not even the only current employee capable of doing X so that in and of itself doesn't make him special and unique, and X isn't the most important part of the job. I also repeated that to receive better pay he needs to show us that he can actually do LMNOP and do it consistently--it's his responsibility to first demonstrate how he's contributing to the bottom line (and thus worth his desired rate), not our responsibility to pay a higher wage with blind hope that he'll prove worthy.

    After wrapping up, Partner and I agreed the whole conversation went better than we'd imagined and we were feeling better about giving Employee another chance.

    Then at the end of the day, Employee went to Partner to complain that he felt disrespected by my comments and that he wants an apology from me--apparently because I do not work on the shop floor and I definitely don't do X so I'm not qualified to comment on his performance. Employee notably did not speak to me about any of this.

    So.

    Partner tells me he explained to Employee that he agreed with everything I had said but also suggested I should tell Employee "I want you to know that we value you as a part of our team and I'm sorry if what I said hurt your feelings." I understand where Partner is coming from and to a degree I don't have a problem conveying that I did not intend to hurt Employee's feelings.

    However, I'm hesitant to "apologize" for giving an employee what Partner and I agreed was a fair and accurate review. It wasn't all sunshine and roses, but because Employee chose to get bent out of shape about it, I'm supposed to apologize? Even if I do offer some statement about not intending to hurt his feelings, is there a risk that Employee takes that as an indication that the entire review was inaccurate and/or confirmation that I'm not qualified to pass judgement on his performance?

    Has anyone else had to deal with a similar situation? And/or do you have any thoughts on how we might want to handle this one??

    Can my mom, a beauty salon owner/operator, refuse to work on African hair due to new physical incapabilities from to old age and degradation of shoulder ligaments?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 04:24 PM PDT

    My mother [Mexican immigrant living the American dream] is getting on in age and recently time has shown its toll. She is having shoulder issues as her rotar cuff is beginning to seriously degrade. We are unable to hire help until December 2021 when we hope we will almost fully recover from the pandemic. Even then there's no guarantee they'll be proficient with African hair or hair in general.

    The issue is that she physically struggles with African hair. She's an expert but the sheer strength and dexterity required to work on such strong and resilient hair is literally destroying her body. Today one of her regular and favorite clients came for XYZ treatment. Today was apparently my mother's breaking point where she no longer wishes to continue working with African hair simply due to the toll it takes on her body. I'm not what sure what to do when she asked for my opinion because I am the one that takes care of all business aspects regarding taxes, laws, advertisement, etc.

    What can we do in this situation? Of course humans of African descent are more than welcome to be served and worked on - my mom simply doesn't want to work on their hair or at the very least nothing that incorporates a bit of muscle to accomplish.

    Need help about ITIN (Non resident disregarded LLC owner)

    Posted: 28 May 2021 07:35 PM PDT

    Hello,

    Recently I established a LLC (disregarded entity) as a non resident of the USA and got an EIN and now I am looking to apply for an ITIN. I don't want to get rejected and wait for another 3-4 months. So, my main question is which exception should I use when I check box h on W-7 form? I can provide next documents: LLC articles, LLC operating agreement, EIN confirmation letter, signed letter from bank stating I have opened business bank account (either checking or savings). So which of these documents should I attach to the application?

    Need some preliminary help starting an IT staffing company!

    Posted: 28 May 2021 02:10 PM PDT

    Background: I currently work as a Business Analyst for a large Bank and I am contracted through a company. I am located in NJ and am in my mid 20s. My dad has also worked in the IT industry for a while and has friends that have started up staffing companies for people in IT and are very successful and they seem to have a great business going for them.

    When I asked my dad how feasible it would be to do something similar, he told me that it's not a bad idea and he would get me in talks with his friends. However before I talk with them, I'd like to get a concrete business plan ready so that I can ask them specific questions about starting.

    Before that I thought it would be good to get some basic stuff and research out of the way to creat a business plan so that's why I'm here!

    My understand is that staffing solution companies receive anywhere from 10%-20% of a cut from a client they help set up. My preliminary target audience will be junior and mid level Business Analysts, with some senior level people, as well, when I learn what they will really require.

    Money is not too much of an issue but I believe that if I'm lean and do everything myself for as long as I can (before hiring salesmen) that I can start this up below $5,000 and scale as I go up. This will go towards various softwares, legal documents, and business accounts on platforms such as Indeed. Please let me know if that will not be enough and if I need to dedicate more funds to at least start this up.

    Questions: 1. How do you get a company to sign on with you in terms of providing them clients? 2. What are some key softwares to use in terms of CRM, scheduling, bookkeeping, HR, timesheets, payroll, etc.? 3. How do you get benefit programs such as Healthcare and 401Ks started up? How do you choose certain vendors and what are the costs associated with it? 4. Should I do marketing now, or do it later after I try to just get some clients off indeed and websites? 5. Is there anything specific I need to do in terms of security for my client's info? 6. What are some major challenges and hidden costs that you did not see coming?

    How much is loyalty worth?

    Posted: 28 May 2021 05:59 AM PDT

    Straight to the point - finally reopening after covid. Small business staff of 4. 2 moved away last spring during shut down(leases ended) and the main 2 of us kept our clients happy while barely scraping by.

    1 is gone for good.

    The other is unsure of their future(and so am I) They are a good employee and a great person, they also know who most of our clients are(repeat B2B business.) They can work with clients as needed and run the shop and. Make sure. Nothing burns down if no one else is there. They are a key holder and someone who will stay until 5:30 on Fridays even when it's obvious that they could cut out early(which is totally fine in our business.)

    The problem - they are a painfully slow worker when it comes to non-client facing things. Anything that should take 15 minutes can easily end up taking them 45 minutes. They are meticulous, but often get stuck worrying about a detail that does not matter. They have a hard time seeing the big picture of things. They are afraid to make decisions.

    With things picking back up, I am at a crossroads. Do I spend my summer trying to find someone new and jump through the hoops of them learn in the ropes etc, or do I bring back this employee who I know and trust very much, who does a decent job, but who also infuriates me because of their pace, single track mind and short sited way of seeing things?

    After 12 months of thinking about this, I am thinking I should bring the employee back and then just outsource some of their responsibilities(the things they crawl at) - this would probably also be more cost effective than hiring someone new.

    Thoughts?

    Looking for advice on how to market and rent a portable bathroom facility.

    Posted: 28 May 2021 04:08 PM PDT

    I bought a rather luxurious, portable (it sits on a trailer) bathroom facility/bar, at auction and I was going to use it for personal reasons but I might as well put it to good use and rent it out to events and movie sets. I just don't know where to start. Is this something people do? I have some money to spend. I'd be willing to hire the right person to advertise it and put me in touch with the right customers. If anyone reading this can help that would be amazing.
