[@bearleers]

@@LYFEAccounting Can't wait, looking forward to continue learning. Also, I forgot to give your channel props for its consistency, which is the difference between good and great! Thanks, Again.

[@MoneyMelJr]

FACTS!!

[@kalel6253]

I LOVE THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THE REVERSE SITUATION; HAVING A PREFORMED LLC TURNED INTO THE HOLDING LLC!!

[@trippwarren170]

I have yet to find an explanation of this process that is as thorough and easy to follow such as this video. Thank you for this content!

[@SeanTheDon17]

These Step-by-step videos are Gold! Thank you

[@LYFEAccounting]

From one Sean to another, I appreciate that haha. Thanks.

[@esbevco]

Thank you for this. The part about how to envelope an existing company under the umbrella was most helpful in my case 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@london1963]

Thanks so much! I was stressed out trying to call Zen Business to make changes to the name of my new LLC from the operating company's name to the holding company's name. I thought I create a bigger mess for myself when it came time to make this transition. With the business ideas ahead, a holding company would tie all of my upcoming endeavors into one umbrella. After watching your video I was able to calm down and will tackle this step during annual renewal of my LLC. Thank you kindly. I will focus on what is in front of me. Namaste~

[@london1963]

I am seeking tax and accounting advice for this new business and will look into LYFE accounting via the web as well .

[@indi4223]

2 minutes in and exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!

[@I_of_Infinity]

Thank you for this valuable, clear and concise information.

[@thepharm7213]

subscribed but just a small piece of advice based on my quick experience/intro to this channel. there are some GREAT/VERY IMPORTANT questions being asked in these comments that the video missed and responses by the team are primarily to the "Great job/thank you" comments. a few responses to these questions would prevent me from going elsewhere to find the information and easily lock in a subscribe. just my two cents. thanks for the info!

[@janeehoward342]

Very helpful! I didn’t realize until last year that I was already running my businesses like this. This was just the natural way I wanted my businesses ran

[@LYFEAccounting]

Fantastic!

[@SantiagoGutierrez-ni8kb]

This helps. I currently have 3 LLC companies right now so I need to create a holding company (umbrella company) that these three will be under.

[@thepashaj7425]

A on time topic for me ;Thanks so much for the highlight ...Have a wonderful day !

[@LYFEAccounting]

You are so welcome! Hope it blesses you

[@tommyharden1925]

Can you make a video on HOW TO Create that operating agreement with the clauses that NEEDs to be in Holding company

[@JP-wn4jn]

I already have a Nevada c corp. I want to turn that into a holding company.im going to watch this again to make sure I'm not missing anything

[@GisellesCurls]

Excellent!!!!! Needed this info for additional legal protection

[@BOOMSTICK-PRODUCTIONS]

Thoroughly put together

[@SitioVision_films]

very well explained -- other vids did not provide the finer details as you did -- thanks!!

[@cgcep]

Do you have to form another LLC for the subsidiaries or can you just do a dba? Great content 🔥

[@tomasgonzalez4819]

No. A DBA offers no legal protection.

[@Princess.Girly.2030]

Neither does a single member LLC

[@tomasgonzalez4819]

@Princess_K2023 Depending on the jurisdiction (i.e., state), a multi-member LLC offers greater protections than a single member. Nevertheless, a single member LLC absolutely offers legal protection regardless of the state... ESPECIALLY, when compared to a sole proprietorship or just a DBA and nothing else.

[@GK4NP]

Love, love, love LYFE Accounting videos. Questions, how can I make my current LLC my holding company instead of starting up a new LLC?

[@nelsonhollins]

Thank you so much for this information! I have been trying to find someone to explain how to form a holding company. Finally!! And well done!

[@HopeProphecy]

How would I pay myself if I worked for an operating single-member LLC owned by a single member Wyoming Holding LLC? (I am the owner of both and directly work for the operating LLC.) I am wanting to be taxed as an S-Corp (and be able to received distributions), and also have the asset protection of the Holding Company. Would the operating LLC be disregarded and the Holding LLC the S-Corp? Thanks!

[@Broker.oftheyear]

Thank you for breaking this down!

[@ShiverBruce]

Great presentation and content ❤️‍🔥

[@WuduYigzaw]

This is great! I've been looking for how to put my existing llc under a Holding co. Some guy was saying it's better to dissolve that existing llc,create a Holding co,then create an LLC under the Holding co. U made it simple bro! Keep posting these wonderful videos! U got a subscriber!

[@UmbreezyProductions]

Would you advise that each subsidiary have its own payment processing account (stripe, square) so that the performance of each can be individually analyzed?

[@colbystrickland]

Appreciate you LYFE Accounting! Thank you so much for sharing your financial literacy! Continue educating, empowering and inspiring you guys!

[@LYFEAccounting]

You are so welcome! & Thank you for supporting us 💯

[@iamblessed513]

[@DangDarryl]

Good look on the info you but in a way easy to grasp 💯

[@In-TensionTraining]

I''ve been trying to find this information for so long. Thank you!!!

[@federigoguzzi1477]

Thank you for the video! What should I put as "Principal line of business" if my LLC is a holding company?

[@stephanie_7038]

How is the income from subsidiaries consolidated into the holding company? Can you provide an example? If a subsidiary makes 100000 how does it flow to the parent company? How is the tax handled? If a sub is in one state like AZ, and the parent company is in WY, how are the taxes handled? Using AZ laws or WY laws? Thanks, hope my questions make sense!

[@fabulousfactory]

Great question!

[@boredGPT]

Is there a difference between a LLC owning other LLC's and a LLC holding company? And do you have to have a board of directors to manage the LLC holding company?

[@LacedCoco]

Excellent topic. I have been thinking of this for a couple of years now but I wasn’t expanding at the time. This information is right on time for my business now. I appreciate advanced topics. My question is how do I fix my current LLC because I have both personal income (W2) and expenses commingled with business income and expenses in my business accounts. I need to prep for asset and liability protection like yesterday 🙇🏾‍♀️

[@BOLLERguy]

All of you looking for an easy way to set up your LLC, Nexalic handles it all-mistake-free and a big time-saver. I wish I’d known about it before. Just sharing, wishing you the best!

[@ericgarcia2205]

[@PrincessLopez]

Great information! My question is there a way to amend an operating company to become the umbrella company? I have an LLC that would be better suited as the umbrella with subsidiary companies under it.

[@kimlaffont9951]

Hi, I loved your video. I have a question about the EIN number. Do I just get one for the holding company or do I need one for each of the LLC under it? Thanks so much.

[@jonathanp7504]

Good info brotha, keep it up

[@dancephreakz]

What if you have a current LLC now that has many different streams of income but under the same brand? Can I make this current LLC the holding company and create LLC and move those operations underneath it?

[@TaRodneyV]

This video is sooooo clutch!!!!

When filing the LLC for the holding company what do you select for “Business type”

[@MiketheM1K3]

Great informative video! Question: if I wanted to create a parent company for an existing llc, how would be the easiest way to transfer the existing llc’s assets to the new parent company?

[@abdallahshaik8764]

Please lmk if you found out

[@HAVENS913]

The most important question is, can the holding company be out of state (Wyoming) and control New York State ( highest taxes) without nexus and having to register as a foreign corporation?

[@djmitchell3464]

Good question. I currently have a Wyoming LLC and I was going to foreign register in GA but I'm now I'm stuck between should I not foreign register and just create a domestic LLC in GA instead and have the WY LLC as the owner member of the GA LLC. I'm also trying to understand if I don't foreign register and create the domestic GA LLC I'll have 2 EIN's. One for WY and GA so which company would I file taxes through. I've heard that the income flows through to the holding company but not sure how that works if all the income is coming from the subsidiary. Maybe create dba's idk

[@georgiahill2654]

I want to setup a holding company with multiple apartment buildings each having their own LLC. I'm planning to start building in 2023. GH

[@shoppopboutique2678]

Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for making this video! It definitely explained things but unfortunately I don’t think it will work as the right set up for me right now!!!… So, I definitely need you guys to do a video on “DBAs”… How to set it up? Where to set it up? What are the requirements? etc…All this searching and reading and deciphering the legal mumble jumble out there gives me a true headache 🤕 but you guys break it down so clearly!!! I honestly can’t wait to see where you guys go in the future!!! But in the meantime we will just keep supplying you guys with ideas 💡 for content.

[@Mydreamsfulfilled]

Awesome video!!! I have a question: if you already have an LLC but you want it to now operate as a holding company, what should be the steps to do that?

[@bosscertifiedent]

You have to amend it, as with any other changes to the company (state)- you'll have to amend the operating agreement to reflect that also.

[@justSTUMBLEDupon]

How do you pay yourself if your different businesses are in this holding company? Also can this holding company hold different types of businesses? For example it could be a tech business, a website, Amazon drop shipping, and real estate ownership?

[@djmitchell3464]

The answer is yes to the second question. That's what this whole video was about but your first question is the one to get answered as that's me and many others question lol

[@martinforde8605]

🔥people never explain this in 7 min🤙

[@LYFEAccounting]

Thanks a ton Martin. It's good to hear we are on the right track. Will you be setting up a holding company for yourself?

AFTER YOU FORM THE UMBRELLA LLC .. YOU THEN GO BACK AND MAKE THE RESOLUTION OF IT BEING THE UMBRELLA LLC AND CAN FROM SUBSIDIARIES COMAPANIES? AND THE SAME FOR THE SUSIDIARY COMPANY MAKE RESOLUTION AFTER FILED TO BE SUBSIDIARY OF UMBRELLA COMPANY

[@GiselleTrujillo]

Excellent information, thank you for sharing.

[@gtajeu]

Thank you for the advice. Can I do the opposite? I already have an LLC that’s built up business credit and finished a new build construction project in its name. Can I convert this into a holding company and then create subsidiaries below that? Or what would you think could be a viable strategy? Thank you!

[@IamPositiveSigourney]

Amazing! THANK YOU🙏

[@macjavflix]

Do you need an EIN (taxID) for the holding company? Or is the EIN required for the Subsidary LLC?

[@djmitchell3464]

Everyone's question that's still not answered lol did you ever figure it out. I have a WY company but not sure if I should foreign register or domestic register in my home state because of the double EIN question and income flow from subsidiary to the holding company. Trying to figure out how this whole process works

[@syebethel]

Does this mean that the parent company has a balance sheet, but no income statement (p&l)? And that the operating company/ies have balance sheet/s and income statement/s?

[@djmitchell3464]

Everyone's question that still haven't been answered. I guess these guys are to busy to answer or doesn't know the answer or want folks to pay them for the answer idk lol

[@dpestlin1]

Thanks! How would this tax structure work for this if the operating company wants to be taxed as an S-Corp?

[@Unknownsimplicityx]

This was very helpful, Thankyou. Quick question, when it comes to beneficial report filing a foreign llc; for company, applicant, and beneficiary do I use my personal info or holding company? Because I tried to use my holding company RA address and got denied.

[@WellnessForMoms]

Very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏾!

[@qslim7247]

With my subsidiary companies when I do the articles of organization for my state for the agent do I use the parent company name?

[@cottrellshome2203]

How does this work financial and tax wise? Who files the tax return? Only the Umbrella company or the Umbrella and sub companies? Who reports the income? Only the Umbrella company? So there is no financial data for the sub company?

[@joannasmusicrocks3288]

If I already have an LLC “holding “ company; does the new subsidiary have to also be an LLC? So, would I start a brand new process from scratch?

[@defenselessmoose7313]

[@liamnicholls7106]

Even after watching and comprehending this video I still don’t know how to do the steps. Like you start an umbrella company.. how? You get a registered operator who can be you.. ok. How? You start a subsidiary company.. how? Like, do you just make a name, start telling people it’s a business, do I copy right it? Do I register it or need a licence or go to someone?

[@anthonyj.4756]

Go to your states secretary of state’s website. Search for forming an LLC. It will walk you through the process step by step. You will need your LLC’s name, address and purpose. Depending on the state, the filing fee vary.

[@thespablueprint]

Thanks! If you already have a LLC and you make the parent company today, can you put your existing LLC under the Parent company? If that makes sense

[@nichellemeans9451]

I’m confused on what to select for business purpose/activity on the EIN application for a holding company, as holding company is not an option. The subsidiaries will be in different categories. Please advise.

[@siashabrang2715]

I have no idea how to do this sort of things but thank you so much for this video as I have watched many others and none explained the steps as clearly as you have. I have a question.... would I set this up or is it better to go thru some type of website, find a financial advisor (not sure how) or a lawyer to setup? Not sure how hard it is to do this. Thank you

If you start your LLC in your state, with yourself as the owner, can you change the owner to a holding company later on?

[@JoseOrtiz-d2l]

When I place a provision within my articles of corporation you said that it should state "no changes can be made to the management of an operating company without the companies approval" do I specify and put down the name of my umbrella company in the subsidiaries?
