Did you bother with registering a business?

[Spicy Nug]

Some people when they do IM don't bother registering an actual business. In fact I can tell a lot of my competition on Etsy just comes up with a random name and pretends it's a registered company.

I registered my company as an LLC because of the extra legal protections but that got me thinking: did any of you skip registering a business?

 

[Dopious]

Yeah, I skipped register a company, that said, I always invoice from a company though not mine. Better keep that taxman away and pay your taxes after deductions ofcourse.

In India we say GUMASTA.. a word for company registration. So it's being easy to file a tax and get other documents for your employees.

If I were to serve my local clients I would need to register, since it would unlock banking systems like Mollie for those customers ( Creditcard is not used for subscriptions in my country )

In Israel you must open a business if you want to get paid as a non-employee, so yeah..
