When I first became a business owner and decided to legalize my business, I utilized my home address as my business address. I had no idea about virtual office spaces or why adding my home address for my business wasn't the best decision. Did you know once you register your business, it becomes PUBLIC knowledge and millions of people will have access to this information? As I began to learn more about legalizing my business and all that it entails, I began to see why I needed to update my business address IMMEDIATELY.

Here are some of the benefits of having a virtual office.
1. Makes your business look professional.
2. You have a dedicated place for business mail.
3. You can list this address on Google/Yelp/Bing and other free sites for people to find you.
4. You have a dedicated office space to complete work or host meetings.

Check the comments for places where you can obtain a virtual address!!

📌Your business needs to have a strong foundation and creating a website for your business is one of the requirements. FIVERR, FB, IG, LinkedIn, Google, YouTube are a few places where you can either receive help or create one on your own. When lenders complete research on your business, they need to be able to at least pull up a full website or 1 pager.

Here are a few other things needed...
1. Business Incorporation- this helps keep your personal assets protected and is a separate entity from your personal life
2. EIN is needed for tax purposes and is free at irs.gov
3. Opening that business bank account shows lenders your financial history and allows you to keep your personal funds separate from the business.
4. Business Email & Phone Number will also establish your credibility. ie: [email protected]

✅Although this is great information to get you started, it isn't all the steps needed. Need a step by step guide? Drop a comment below!!

Yesterday I asked what methods where you using to fund your business & majority of the responses were "Personal Funds." Well today I want to talk about Grants.

Grant Funding is money your business obtains that doesn't have to be paid back. You can find Grants at the Federal, State & local levels. No two Grants are the same and they each have different requirements.

BUT, one thing they all have in common is, your business MUST be structured properly in order to meet the qualifications.

Here are 2 Grants you can apply for now!!

💰 Stacys Snacks | Stacy’s Rise Project Grant - $25,000, Deadline for application submissions is December 1, 2023

💰 Tory Burch Foundation | The Fellows Program - $5,000 in grant funding, a 1 year-long coaching, workshop, and mentorship program from 50 founders, Deadline for application submissions is Nov. 2, 2023 |

If you're thinking about starting a business or if you already have a hustle & want to legalize it, here are a few tips....

1. Visit the uspto.gov website to confirm your business name hasn't been trademarked.

2. Your business address will be public info, I don't reccomend having your home address as your business address. Take a look at some virtual office spaces.

3. Visit your secretary of state website to confirm the business name isn't registered & once confirmed, start the registration process.

4. Obtain your FREE EIN from IRS.gov. This number is needed for tax purposes.

5. Open a business bank account. Your business & personal funds must remain separate.

6. Obtain your DUNS # dnb.com to start building business credit.

6. Create a website or landing page.

7. Create social media pages

Now these aren't all the steps BUT it will get you on the right track to get everything started.

Before you all start racking up on business credit approvals, make sure you have a plan in place on how/when you’re going to pay them back!! We all get so excited when those approvals start coming in and we’re getting awarded $4k here $2k over there. Next thing you know you’re buying up everything but have a eery feeling when it’s time to pay it back because you didn’t do anything that could help scale your business‼️

Start strategizing on ways you can use those accounts to your advantage.

✅Run ads
✅Pay for coaching
✅Buy inventory
✅Social media collabs
✅Networking Apparel
✅Advertising

All of these things can help you generate sales.

📌You gotta start thinking outside the box‼️

Good Morning ☀️
