MenuWhat company type is suitable for my online business needs and related issues?
I have an online business and expanding. I also plan to buy a medical practice. I need to set up a company and need help on all these issues.
Answers
I will suggest you B2C company. These companies are best suitable for online business. Apart from the multiple advantages it provides two major benefits that you will get from establishing this type of company. First is digitalization of business and second is usage of a global network. Now by digitization of the business I mean a comprehensive usage of ICT (Information & Communication Technology) not only within a business organization, but now through a more and more seamless linking and cooperation of information and communication systems of all involved business partners. While by usage of global network I mean that global networks allow the exchange of information without any restrictions in time and independently from any geographical distances.
Besides if you do have any questions give me a call: https://clarity.fm/joy-brotonath
First, clarify your goals that you want to achieve with your business, because these will help you to decide on the best company type. Here are some of the questions and parameters we usually assess when creating a venture:
1. How big the business will grow in terms of revenue, nr of employees, locations etc?
2. Now or in the future do we plan to raise capital or involve additional shareholders?
3. Do we plan to create an Employee Stock Option Plan?
4. Are there any legal, regulatory requirements that influence the company type we can chose? (e.g. for medical practice)
5. From an accounting, tax perspective, specific to our business model and projections, which company type would allow us to minimize taxes?
Some company types are just easier to handle. Also, if raising venture capital, then there are pretty good best practices already, so no need to reinvent the wheel.
Either way, apart from doing this self-assessment, I'd recommend finding a good and affordable lawyer and accountant before incorporation - ones who have a good track record in the state/country where the company will be registered. And definitely get their input too.
This really depends on:
1. Where are you?
2. Do you have partners?
3. Well you be looking to raise investment capital?
4. What are your goals to achieve through a corporate structure (ie. Tax optimization, liability protection, financing, etc)?
From the we can begin sketching out the appropriate options and narrowing a little.
There is a lot to this, let's get on a call and discuss in detail!
In short, it depends on your goals, how many partners you have, where the future of the business is going, and most importantly what is your risk and how are you planning to limit this.
This will lead to a more specific conversation around LLC, PLLC, S Corp, C Corp, etc and which is better for you.

My startup just failed. What could I start to "immediately" generate $1,000/mo?
The quickest path to cash is almost always consulting. Be very specific about what it is you can offer. Don't just offer "business consulting". Find a niche and serve it. Reach out to your network, including friends and family and ask if they need or know of anyone who might want to hear about what your consulting has to offer. That will be way faster than trying to go at it from scratch or cold calling. If you call 100 people in your network this week, you will have a consulting gig within 3 weeks. Good luck, and let me know if you'd like advice on entering a digital marketing/lead generation consulting niche. I've grown from zero to $8,000 of monthly recurring payments in the last 40 days!

I'm thinking of starting a Cigar Of The Month Club. Is the monthly subscription club space too saturated?
Hi, I specialise in eCommerce strategy and marketing, helping eCommerce people make better decisions, and run more efficiently and effectively. The short answer is 'no'. Your target market isn't "subscription buyers" it's "cigar lovers". So unless there's a lot of subscription programs targeting the cigar lover, you're fine. However, if your market strategy is to go after people who like subscriptions - then I think you're not going to do so well! A cigar is a tough first sell! If you're coming at this from the "I love cigars" point of view first consider if Subscription is the best way to serve that customer base. If you're coming at this from the "I want a subscription business" point of view - then make sure you've researched cigars thoroughly before going down that road. Not least the legal restrictions on advertising - these differ from country to country, but it can be pretty hard to market tobacco online. Hope that helps. ChloeCT

What are best strategies to sell LED light tubes and industrial lighting/lamps online a) in general and b) on amazon?
I'd ask Rocco Baldassarre. He is the best online marketing consultant I've ever seen and can surely give you concrete advice. Said that, my advice would be a) your own e-commerce store so you can drive traffic to it without losing money on commissions b) learn from best selling products (you can see sales ranks of competing products if you register as an amazon affiliate marketer; it's free) and copy their structure, split test regularly Hope it helps!CM
