I really just want a general answer for this situation. Surely in the day of internet businesses, this is not an uncommon situation. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

small business question, Welcome

It is VERY hard to answer your question without knowing who you are.

It sounds like you need both a lawyer and an accountant.

LLC, State web based small business question

Hi,

I recently launched a website where the primary source of income will be from advertisements on the site. My business partner registered our LLC in Delaware last July. I live in Massachusetts and he lives in New York. Since this is a web based business, all of the work is done online out of my home. So, I have a few questions...

1. Do we need to register the business as a Foreign LLC in Massachusetts as well since I live there? Or, since the business is online, can we just stick with the Delaware registration?

2. I went to open a small business bank account at a local Massachusetts bank and was told that we will need a business certificate from my town first. I explained that we are an online business, but I'm not sure they knew what to do with it. I asked my town clerk and they told me I needed to register with the state. Is this necessary (see 1 above)? I believe it costs over $500 to regsiter as a foreign LLC in Massachusetts. All we want to do is open a bank account for the business. Can we instead just open a bank account at a Delaware bank?

Thanks in advance!
