Lauriedk My Mom made a similar comment that I am allowing him to act like he does because I am not giving him any negative consequences of not paying his share. My first step is in more specifically defining what his share is and keeping better records of what we each...

Lauriedk Since you are in the US you have the same considerations I did when I went to start my business. You need to decide the kind of entity you want your business to be, Sole Proprietor, Corporation or LLC. It will depend on how many people will be in control of...

Lauriedk It would depend on what the domain is going to be used for. If it will be a business you want something that centers around the core of what the business is. If it is about a person you will want something related to the person. Are you going to be developing...
