Which state will allow you to license a company under LLC and operate in a DIFFERENT state? -

If I have a company that is operating in MO but I don t want the LLC from MO, which state will allow me to license under them?

zeuz is mostly right. All states will allow an LLC from another state to operate, as far as I know. It is more a matter of the state you are operating in, not an issue about where you organize. Not all states allow non-residents to register as LLC, though. For instance, here in VA, the person registering the LLC has to be a VA resident. In MA, I don t believe there is a residency requirement, but there has to be a local (MA) agent who has a MA address listed, just like for a corporation. Every state is different, so maybe you should start going to the web sites of some of the surrounding states and check what the requirements are. Be careful of web sites that are not state-run. I looked on one site that said there were no residency requirements for a VA LLC when I know there are. So, the issue is not whether the state you organize in will allow you to operate in another state (they all will), but whether the state you want to organize in will allow a non-resident to LLC.All that being said, I think Delaware allows non-residents to LLC. Keep in mind, though, that you will have to meet requirements for both the state you LLC in and the one you operate in, which makes life more complicated. If you register in another state, you will be responsible for that state s requirements, and you will need to register in the state that you are operating in as a foreign LLC, and usually be responsible for all the requirements and taxes and fees and everything that a domestic LLC (one organized in the state you are operating in) is responsible for. Any particular reason why you don t want to LLC in MO?

All of them. The problem is you will owe taxes and fees to both MO and the state where you incorporate the LLC.

Prices to charge for my cleaning business.? -

I am having trouble deciding how to bill my clients. By the hour by the job by square feet or by room? HELP!!

in janitorial work you always charge by area concerned. period. when you start you will clean everything from top to bottom and what will take you multiple hours you charge extra like a clean-out charge. just to get the account to a place where your maintenance of that level of cleanliness can be done in minutes, for a monthly fee based on square footage

If it is just you yourself, then it is best to charge by the hour or by the day. If you charge $15/hour, you ll net about $10/hr after taxes. In major metro areas, you can probably charge $20/hr. Also be sure to set a minimum of 4 hours (= 1/2 day).Some people cram alot into small square footage. In fact, the less the square footage, the harder and more time-consuming it tends to be to clean. And a room can vary widely in size, contents, and cleaning needed. A LR can be 12 x 15 , or 30 x 50 !

Hi! I clean small offices and have friends that do residential. Artie is sort of right. Actually, calculating your charges is a combination of hours and square footage. But for the client, it should be presented as square footage. Why? Because as you get more efficient, you get faster and you either lose money or lose clients because they think they are not getting their money s worth.You need to determine how long it takes you to complete certain cleaning tasks, the room size, and have pricing for doing this for very dirty, dirty and lightly dirty rooms.There s a lot more to it, but this gives you an idea. I have more tips, resources on my Squidoo lens and blog. The links are in my profile.Good Luck!!!!

Why Business Giants fear of Recession? -

Their success is dependent on the stock market. People stop investing, company goes down. It has nothing to do with profitability, and everything to do with investors.

Is 53 U.S. dollars a fair shipping charge for three small items being mailed from Austria to New York? -

My mother left a disposable camera, a little photo booklet and a cell phone adapter in a hotel in Austria. The hotel will mail these to NY for a shipping charge of $53 US dollars (35 Euros). I was shocked by this price. The items put together cost less than that. I m almost afraid we re being ripped off -- but then I ve never had anything shipped from Europe, so maybe it is fair. Anyone have any experience with this kind of thing?

Wow. That sounds really expensive. I would tell your mom that you can give it to her next time you see her OR send it to someone in the USA that you know that is closer then New York and have them send it to ur mom. Like I live in Ohio. If i wanted to send something to California but i didn t have enough money then i would send it to Wyoming (I know someone who lives in Wyoming) and i would ask them to send it to my mom for me.

Sadly that is a fair charge...my sister is studying abroad in Scotland and it cost my mom around $40+ to send my sister two of the smallest flat rate boxes from USPS. It s not fair that they are allowed to charge that much, but unfortunately that is realistic.
