The thread was already unlocked the day before yesterday.

I'll start the thread and we'll see how it looks.

I locked this thread because we've been hitting the same playground topics over and over again. Honestly, I'm with Michael Lee4 on this one—there's just no point in rehashing them.

Grace Thomas7 said:Hey there!
I have a bit of an unusual question for you all. Is it theoretically possible to set up a single LLC that covers absolutely everything? I mean, could I just register for every possible business activity right from the start? I realize some industries naturally conflict with one another, so obviously, you can't register for *everything*, but is it feasible to list, say, 50 different business activities under one roof? Also, does the filing fee apply $50 per activity? I’ve heard whispers that adding each extra category comes with its own $50 charge. On another note, is it legally possible for a company to have zero official employees while still having, say, 50 volunteers on board? How would the IRS or standard accounting practices view that? Would I need to be signing specific contracts or waivers with them to stay compliant...
Specifically, I'm trying to estimate the monthly overhead for running an LLC where there is only one employee (who also serves as the CEO) earning minimum wage. Basically, I'd be paying roughly $600 in payroll taxes and healthcare contributions, plus my U.S. Chamber of Commerce dues, an accountant, bank fees, and various other miscellaneous costs. If the company isn't generating any revenue yet, what kind of total monthly burn rate am I looking at?

It's doable. The cost is the same whether you list one activity or fifty.

I'm with you on that. It's pretty bad.

I could really use some advice here. I own a small business—it’s a sole proprietorship rather than an LLC—and since I’m planning to move out of the country permanently in the near future, I want to hand the reins over to my sister so she can keep the business running. Does anyone know what the standard procedure looks like for this? And more importantly, what kind of costs am I looking at?

This might sound like a bit of a silly question, but is there an option to essentially "gift" the business to her to facilitate the transfer? My goal is to completely walk away from the company once it's done.

Best,

A business transfer agreement.

The moderator must have been in an exceptionally good mood when they saw it.

Seems to me I was being way too nice. Too nice. As for the thread itself, nothing left to say—everything's already been covered 😉. Next time, there won't be any looking the other way.

Where exactly do you want it moved?

Michael Lee4 said:Spin is honorary and Setra is active, so just clean up once the two of us are gone...

That’s it. We aren't letting them touch it 😁.

The Ford looks better with letters. Period.

Michael Lee4 said:Nobody else is needed... it's just me and this Brazilian man. I haven't found anyone else on my wavelength, so my little reign of terror continues uninterrupted.

We don't need anyone else for now. They aren't going to shake us off that easily. Besides, we’re probably the moderator duo with the most seniority on this entire board.

Setra barely shows up on the PDF. It’s almost non-existent. And Spinaker hasn't been around for quite a while now.

Morning. I’ve locked this thread, but if the car situation changes, I'll move it over to the right PDF. Now, back to Automobiles 😁.

Alright. I’ll leave this open just a little longer before I lock the thread. A lot of people jumped on the poll quickly, and there's really no point in keeping this active any longer than necessary, for the reasons I already laid out. Results are right there.

Look, honestly, I could just go on a power trip, handing out bans like candy, tossing red cards around, and wiping everything clean whenever I felt like it—but that’s just not my style. I can't stand working like that. Just imagine how messy things would get if I actually did, and how many people would end up exactly like this. 😁

Man, you really missed the mark on that one. You completely whiffed.

That's it. That's the whole thing. bit Man, these polls... you really do this all the time, don't you?

Regarding that poll closing... honestly, I think you should just leave it open for the full 20 days, or let it just die out on its own. If you shut it down early, you're just going to have everyone breathing down your neck, complaining that you didn't give everyone a fair shot to weigh in. It’s a headache waiting to happen.

Maybe the results will actually reflect what the community thinks better if the poll doesn't stay open forever. It’ll be easier for those users with zero posts and stuff to vote later on.

Some of you guys have closed much more reasonable threads right on time, or maybe even earlier.

Not yet. Let people keep voting for a bit so we can wrap this one up too.

Matthew Sanchez79 said:Ugh, okay, so here’s the deal. It’s been like two years since I got slapped with a speeding ticket. I actually contested it—basically filed an appeal because it felt like the statute of limitations should have kicked in by now—but then out of nowhere today, I get this official notice saying I’m guilty. And get this: they ruled against me just four days before the deadline passed! Talk about bad timing. Plus, they took three whole months to even mail me the decision. Total joke, right? I don't see any way to appeal this anymore, but I’m staring at this paper wondering... what now? Am I stuck paying this? To make matters even more annoying, they added $50 for "court costs" on the notice, but the actual payment slip says $110. Is there anyone out there who knows if there’s any way around this or if I'm just screwed?

It feels like the Supreme Court has basically made it standard practice to backdate rulings. They settle things after the statute of limitations has already passed, then just fudge the dates to make it look like they decided while everything was still legal—then they take three months to actually send the paperwork. It's a pattern. Happens way more often than you'd think. Unbelievable.

I’m assuming those are legitimate citations. If you don't settle them, they'll just swap the fines for jail time.

Your question is pretty vague; there’s a lot here that doesn't quite click.

Basically, people should just be more responsible with their obligations. If they're looking for a way out, they should go about it the right way. Just dodging the mail carrier isn't going to solve much of anything.

How can they just swoop in and seize funds like that without any warning or heads-up?
And why won't they give my wife the details—what this is actually for, how long the statute of limitations was, or who signed off on it? Was it some judge? Or an IRS board?

You probably dodged the process server, so they just posted it on the courthouse bulletin board. It's a garnishment.

Just take your paperwork down to the Municipal Court of Los Angeles, head straight to the enforcement division, and tell them what's up. You'll probably have to sign a statement agreeing to swap the fine for some community service, and then you should be all set.
