I own a C. Corp. A C. Corp is the only way you will get any big-time investors to invest in your business. They also require a C. Corp due to tax laws and the benefit to the Delaware C. Corp. Also, they must incorporate the Delaware C. Corp in the state of Delaware if they re seeking investment from investors. C. Corp provides stock options meaning you grant ownership to investors meaning they are more likely to invest in the business. They do not want to invest in an LLC which has no value to them in the end.

I run a Japanese dojo and cultural organization since 1984. Since the pandemic, we have decided to try to do something in both the nonprofit and for-profit sections. Instructional materials, give seminars, teach cultural aspects, self-improvement programs. I just got over cancer and I am at a loss with my filing status. I was always a sole proprietor but I want that to change. I now have an international audience, so this video caught my attention. Thank you so much. I have a lot of research to do

I want to start a nonprofit helping pet owners pay for a specific medical services for their pet that is needed to save their life. To get money for the nonprofit i have decided to open a pet store selling handmade dog goods. I initially was going to keep the businesses seperate but i was just told today that i can keep them together. They recommended i do it the c corporation way that you described. However i already have my llc paperwork done and now have the option to reclassify it as a c corporation so i can do them together. What do you think would be best? The only main reason I've been given as to why i should do them together under the nonprofit is to save the 800 dollars yearly fee for the llc.

@Ashlee_Tate 3 года назад

I always recommend keeping them separate so that the funds can be tracked and/or donated. You can also partner with a nonprofit that helps pay for medical services, run your business and donate some of the profits. Or you can start a nonprofit that raises money by selling your wares.

Having a restaurant within the nonprofit is allowed for the nonprofit. It would not be Ubit if it is unrelated. Multiple museums do this and it is allowed because it allows patrons to not interrupt their visit. I'll link information.

Nonprofit yes, corporations and LLC s no paying an agent of "public office" is very unnecessary when you can just read yourself and learn as you go attorneys, by their jurisdiction, works ONLY for the court and state not the client remember the land is occupied unlawfully one must learn law on our own to get successful results rather lose money in private and public jurisdictions

@rachelabbruzzi3751 2 года назад

If a person wanted to open a c-corporation and want most of their funds to go to a non-profit they are part of, would they still be allowed to work at the non-profit? For example, could the executive director at the non-profit also be the owner of the c-corporation? Let's say they want to open a coffee shop unrelated to the non-profit mission, yet they want to continue to be the executive director at the non-profit. Could they do both? I know board members can't overlap, but can employees/volunteers of the non-profit overlap with the business. I hope this makes sense.

@Ashlee_Tate 2 года назад

Yes, you can do this however the funding and the like you said the board must remain separate. That way you would be working for a for profit while running the nonprofit and donating funds from your for profit business. On some matters you would need recuse yourself from the vote such as salary or a partnership with your company. Rachel, are have you joined the tribe yet?

Can you please share the link with me you referenced in this video about nonprofits using the Benefit Corporation as their for-profit subsidiary? Thank you

@Ashlee_Tate 2 года назад

jeremychenlaw.com/for-profit-subsidiary-of-a-nonprofit/ This gives you a run down of how this works. Generally, a Benefit Corporation involves the for profit income and the impact so you wouldn’t use it specifically as a for profit subsidiary. You would just start a Benefit Corporation to accomplish both

Can the services that people pay to the separate for-profit be considered tax deductible to the buyer?

@Ashlee_Tate 2 года назад

No, not a separate for-profit business. Those funds can be donated from the for-profit to the nonprofit but the customers would not receive a tax deduction.

@GrowingPains917 3 года назад

At 8:41 you said that you can advertise them together. I can see how the for-profit can advertise the nonprofit, but I don’t see how the nonprofit can advertise the for-profit without risking getting in trouble with the IRS. I really don’t know much about the subject, but it seems like there could be a problem with the non-profit benefitting an individual. Maybe a little bit of that is okay?

@GrowingPains917 3 года назад

Here are some terms that might be relevant, but I don’t understand them. boardsource.org/resources/private-benefit-private-inurement-self-dealing/

@Ashlee_Tate 3 года назад

James this would only be an issue if it was unrelated business income and you were spending majority of your efforts there then yes the IRS would frown upon that. What I’m referring to is more of the structure of your nonprofit rather than combining two separate businesses. Most nonprofits have some form of for profit wrapped into their business...think selling t-shirts or an event. These are profit building activities that support the nonprofit bottom line

What about if you already have a for-profit agency but want to create a non-profit to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)? I am a licensed clinical social worker in private practice but don't qualify for PSLF because I have to be a non-profit. I am a single-member LLC. This rule needs to be revised, but unfortunately, getting change will take an act of Congress. Please advise.

@Ashlee_Tate Год назад

Thank your for the question. I don’t have enough experience with the PSLF but wouldn’t advise starting a nonprofit to qualify for anything. They require a lot of work and focus (board management and so). You can, however, start up a nonprofit while also having a for profit they just need to be kept completely separate.
