Do I need to register a fictitious business name for my business in Pennsylvania?

I'm starting a small handmade earring business in Pennsylvania and hoping to avoid registering as a fictitious business name to avoid the $70 fee as this is a low-budget startup. Pretend my name is Jonathon James Doe. I would like to call my small business a variation of my name (John James Designs), but not my full legal name (Jonathon James Doe). Does this require filing for a fictitious business name in Pennsylvania? Could I legally call my business my first and last name (Jonathan Doe) and use this name for any finances, taxes, contracts, legal, etc. but market and brand it using an unregistered fictitious business name (John James Designs)?

business issue

Dear Team This is Layla from Eahora. We recently encountered a business dilemma. Let me introduce to you. 1 We are a seller on Amazon. And we sell Eletric Motorcycle, which is a $3000 goods. 2 Due to the truck company delay, the goods didn't get to the customer in time. Then, he opened the A to Z claim on Amazon, and Amazon gave him a full refund. But, the customer signed the goods and still using the goods for FREE. We tried to contact customer to pay or return the scooter, but the customer never reply our email and phone. 2 Now, the customer is using the goods(Eahora M2) for FREE. We lost about $3500. It's really a huge lost to us. 3 My requirement is that how can we ask the customer to pay our back? Or return the scooter on the help of law? Have i make myself clear? Hope to hear you Layla

How should I structure a new nonprofit business with a partner?

Hello. My friend and I are starting a new nonprofit business, to promote, educate, and grow diversity in equine sports. My partner runs the day to day horse operations and has existing assets (horses, tack, equipment), totaling more than 100k. I am providing all the business support such as a fully developed website, business plan, phone/email setup, social media account setup, and will be doing all the marketing, fundraising, finances, etc. What is the best way to structure our company? Should my partner have 100% ownership/shares, and I be compensated for my consulting services, either by a % of income/donations and/or a fixed hourly rate/salary? Would it be a good idea to assign a % of ownership/shares in consideration for the intellectual property I have already created (website, social media accounts and business plan)? Note: We have a CPA who is assisting with filing the Articles of Incorporation, FEIN, and 501c3 application.

I run a small business and would like to collect on a small bad debt a former client does not want to pay. It's $500, is a lien a better way to go?

I run a small business and would like to collect on a small bad debt a former client does not want to pay. They're in WI, I'm in MI, it's approximately $500 and I see filing in the former clients county in a small claims court costs about $120. I understand I can also place a lien on the business(?), Would I have more luck with just placing a lien and taking my chances or is it always advisable to do the small-claims option and take my chances with a judge? Is there a better option?

Family land in an LLC

We have family land that is in an LLC. The LLC is set up 50/50 between myself and my brother. My brother is now wanting to sell the land, however I do not.

How do I get the compensation for my commission if they decide to change the quota (signed in May) fiver days before it is due to me?

My company pays Salespeople a commission on Sales that ship. We sign a document early in the year with the stated quotas to obtain for our commission to be paid out. Our payout is one month delayed due to book work done with our finance team. For the year 2021 our last commission check will be paid on January 28, 2022. Today, January 24, 2022 they have decided to change the quota numbers for one aspect of our commission payout structure to being a higher quota. They state that they can change the quota any time they please due to some restructuring. We have not been given an explanation of the change and the WHY behind the change, We signed the document in May 2021 and have not been presented with a new document to sign for any changes to the quota. I am now losing money due to the change. I feel as if they owe me for what I have done for the numbers in the original signed document and not a new quote to obtain.

Do I need an LLC or can I work as a sole proprietor and just get business insurance? I'm a lic.professional counselor working independently virtually.

I'm working out of my home virtually using telehealth, taking self-pay rates from approximately 10-12 clients per month, charging $120 an hour. I do not plan on hiring employees and I would use my personal name for counseling instead of an actual different business name. I am a licensened professional mental health counselor who has professional malpractice insurance. Would I need to also add in business insurance and work as a sole proprietor or would I need to form an LLC? Either way I think I would need an EIN to protect my identity from clients instead of using a social security number.
