I'm not sure why you would front all the $ and have someone else the one who earns the commission. The producer (licensed agent) has all the leverage.
What is the $75k buying? An existing book?
Hello, My name is Wes Graham and I have experience on various levels with entities. The best option for you really is to work this company's free consultation. They know how to use sophisticated combinations of entities and even know which state one would most benefit from. Nevada is particularly beneficial for business liability protection. Litigation favors the business in Nevada. As well as taking your earning from the business and placing them into a trust separating your personal and business assets like Donald Trump does. His very large real estate businesses went bankrupt twice yet both times he make millions and kept them out of bankruptcy while others were left with nothing but a potential tax write off. Do do real estate deals with Donald trump. Separate personal and business assets by never using your personal assets to fund your business. The law treats you very shabbily and your entity is null and void in respect to keeping your personal assents from being taken from you. I can help you build business credit for free and easily attain a loan the amount you are investing. From their website you will see how fortunate you are to have found there services. The quick answer to you question is yes you can easily set up a separate Business entity that owns an agency, And you should by all means. You can get a low cost entity formed but that is penny wise and pound foolish. If you don't conform your entity is of no use. Have it reviewed once a year. I send my clients to this company and always with top performance and valid entities. I even pay for close friends of mine who own successful businesses, who happen to be Attorneys so that they are afford all the amazing benefits and protection. I feel it is my duty to do so, You can even get trusts formed with this company. An irrevocable life insurance trust is a very good option for particular conditions some client present. You could easily get up to speed with this company if they do them and set up a phone consultation so that they can make an informed decision and you can close another deal on the same clients, and feel real good knowing you enhanced your clients and with the best service

In a startup with a globally-spread remote team, does it still make sense to incorporate in U.S./Delaware vs. somewhere overseas?
Delaware C-Corp I usually Delaware is the best choice for any startup looking for fundraising with a US focus. However, if you are a remote and global team, an overseas or foreign corporation or US tax purposes might make sense. You'd have to talk to an advisor who can dive into your situation, but it would be more difficult for the US owner come tax time, as he'd likely have to file form 5471 to the IRS for any controlled foreign corporation, and form 90-22.1 for any foreign bank accounts. There are a lot of other concerns I didn't hear you raise that entrepreneurs usually have and ask me about, namely banking and merchant accounts/ payment processors. In terms of accepting online payments, any US corporation or LLC is far and away the best option for a company. It's difficult to suggest without knowing more about the company but you might explore Delaware, Wyoming, Hong Kong and other offshore jurisdictions for your legal entity. Each tend to have positives and negatives and there is no one size fits all solution. I do write about issues of incorporation quite regularly on my website FlagTheory.com - so you can read those articles for free, or we can schedule a call - Clarity.fm/incorporation when you have specific questions. Thank you and hope this was helpful!Edmund JohnEJ

How can one file an EIN without an SSN/ITIN?
You should retain a lawyer, or another qualified individual, to act as the third party designee for the corporation (if you do not have a partner or co-owner who is a US citizen). The designee should prepare Form SS-4 (Application for Employer Identification Number) and Form 8821 (Tax Information Authorization) for the corporation’s president to sign and return.Matthew MeltzerMM

Where to incorporate a new software as a service busines?
I'll keep try to keep this answer brief, but there are several factors and nuances that can be discussed in more depth. Where you decide to incorporate partly depends on what your future goals are with your company. Companies that plan to seek venture capital or go public typically choose Delaware as the state of incorporation, and usually choose a C-Corp. Delaware has a very well developed body of law surrounding corporate governance and that provides comfort and more certainty to future VC investors. If you're not planning to seek VC money any time soon, an LLC is a smart decision because of the tax benefits it can provide to you as the owner. It sounds like you want to grow your company on your own without outside financing. If that's the case, I would recommend forming your LLC in California. Regarding California vs. Delaware, one benefit to forming your LLC in California is that you can avoid paying a registered agent fee which can cost anywhere from $100-200 a year. If you plan to seek venture capital down the road, you can reincorporate in Delaware.Jared IversonJI

What is a fair rate of return on a $70K investment?
An agency is an instant cashflow model business. Ugly to scale due to logistics of a team and the mess of being in a client-service business model. But easy to rapidly monetize. Make a phone call. Close a client. Collect the cash. (Yes, that's a bit over simplified). Your girlfriend shouldn't grab a dime from anyone before locking in her first client. An agency can be entirely self-funded and there's little reason to pursue funding. After she had generated her first $50,000 in clients (for example), she can supplement growth with debt financing. And, in no way, is the idea of your generous, retiring parents investing $70,000 into a first time business owner, when statistically most businesses fail ... a good idea. Fair rate is a flexible concept. If I was lending out $70k, I'd want to see 3x $210k back as a minimum. Irregardless of whether that is "fair"... it would be the minimum (for illustrative purposes) where the process of the due diligence and contracts and parting with $70k liquid in trade for a "maybe" $140k gain would be of interest.Rob TothRT
