Hey, since this is my favorite forum, and I'm sure there are people in here that work for local governments, I have a question.
Say I want to start an online business. Nothing fancy, and not even selling my own products, but reselling someone else's. But even still, I have to have a name right? Yes, so I make up a name and buy the domain etc...
Of course I plan on making money, and that goes through paypal. But my question is, what do I have to do in regards to my chosen "name"?
Do I have to register something? Do I need to register a DBA? Isn't that only for local businesses? How do I go about thinking about taxes? If there's no tax due to online sales, isn't there still income tax on my end? If so, in the name of my business or myself? If business name, how do I set it up that way?
I just want to make sure my business name is my own. But I won't be setting up an LLC or or any such thing. No special bank accounts or nothing. It's all my personal deal, except my business name.
So what do I need to know?
Thx
