God is right on time no matter how long ago you taped this... I needed this today! Once again thanks for sharing this was a lot 😭 but very informative. You give me hope

[@sherryanneprice4633]

Thank you so much for your help. I am trying to start an online boutique as well. I watch all your videos. Thank you for supporting ladies like me. God bless you. ❤️

I literally have the same notebook from tj maxx and I got it because I loved that quote!🙌🏼

[@shaybabyricks21]

People have been sleeping on you! You are so knowledgeable and very step by step... Thank you so much for this!!!! Do feel that LLC is the best way to go?

[@billionaireblueprintsnetwork]

I was about to say 12$ for an LLC?? .. let me move to Arizona really quick haha. In Chicago its so expensive. I'm going to be starting my buisness soon and I'll be making business vlogs as well!

[@Shalovette]

ESILE lol I’ve heard how expensive it can be in different cities 🤦🏾‍♀️.. I subscribed to your channel, can’t wait to see your journey!

[@18briones]

Lol I'm in Miami and was like $12 omg thats whats up

[@oh5497]

ShaLovette $125 in nj🤦🏽‍♂️

[@lexyacosta5058]

I am doing business with a DBA certificate as in Texas is $350 to register as an LLC and I won’t stay here in Texas for that long due to my husband military career

[@coralscrafts7258]

Thank you so much for this video. I tend to enjoy all your video's but this one is the best one for me as I have started so many businesses and had to close them as something always goes wrong. Your point about being undocumented did not matter to me until someone wanted to buy my business and I did not have the proper paper work to prove it was a good business.

[@wandagoncalves3049]

Very informative. Thank-you for sharing. I'm so late in the game. But, I'm hoping I can start soon

[@1fashionablylate]

I have a question!! I watched your previous video on Wholesale Vendors. How do you remove the label from clothing & replace it with your own? Where do you get the label from? Do you sew it on? Lol I’m sorry I’m confused on that part!

[@Shalovette]

Im working on a video to give you all the details...it’s coming soon!

[@alexialouidor8829]

I know it's late but your room looks bomb ASF!! !!!!!!!

[@ashad3942]

This video was very helpful .pls finish this video. About packaging and all that go stuff.

[@Alimaway]

Do your research on LLC. I have watched youtubers who did not have their business registered and another who said do not register until you know that is what you want to do and another saying do not register until you made money. It is costly esp in NYC. With filing fee, LLC, publication it is about $200 starting.

[@OneFaithFilledLady]

Can you do a video on how you manage the finances?

[@bigdogrellrell5968]

Thank you so much for the information 😊

[@UniquelyTisa]

In Kentucky the wholesale/ resale license comes with registration. Sole proprietorship is free to register, and a LLC is $40.

[@firstnamesummerlastnamerei7832]

Uniquely Tisa Yaaaaaaaassss! I just did mine last week!!

What website did you go to?

[@SharlenesJourney]

Do you have a video link of why you shut it down before? Also is there anyway we can email or something I’m trying to start my business but just really lost 😫

[@yaniamoore7553]

Thank you for your help great video!

[@itsjustlew]

Lol you took no time editing this video .... the information was needed tho !!! Good job 🤍

[@goodnessgraciousv]

You explained everything perfectly

[@Shalovette]

Thank You!😊

[@darebel]

Great video ... Thank you! And I love your glasses

[@joresecotton3401]

I just watched your video. When you say do paperwork first. You mean get the seller permit/resell license and business license first? Is the business license the same as the tax ID/EIN number?

[@tinavorasane4725]

No it is not ein is ur federal tax number

[@Alimaway]

I watched quite a few youtubers and many did not register. I asked one living in NYC like I am and said they are not looking for you until you make $20k I have not heard of that. Another up coming business she is in NYC and said she did it via Albany because it was cheaper than the city. The prices vary with getting the LLC, getting published etc.. I am still looking into all this.

[@christinajohnson1173]

How did you start your website? and what tips do you have on creating a website?

[@Shalovette]

I’m working a video to answer your question so definitely stay tuned!... but I do use Shopify to manage and build my website.

[@megankirkwood4931]

Thank you!

[@noemhigarcia5531]

Hi I have a question. Hopefully you can help… do you have to name the shoes yourself or can you just sale them as the name they were sold to you as?

[@Shalovette]

I just resale them as they are shipped to me

[@noemhigarcia5531]

@@Shalovette thank you love

[@MegSheimo]

La Showroom is a good place like orange shine and fashion go

[@clothingworkzz9662]

if I register under an llc do I need to get a fictitious name as well ?

[@ItsYLnotYO]

This was good information but at the end of the day there's no such thing as starting a business with "little to no money".

[@nisharoyaleco]

love the video!!

How do you know your target audience?

[@deethegeneral-2684]

[@ashliemarshall1571]

My question is what does LLOC stand for? Can you go into more detail of Packaging??

[@Alimaway]

Idk LLOC but LLC stands for limited liability corporation. It basically is to help protect your business. Lets say your business gets into debt and instead of the debt collectors taking your assets, you are protected due to having your LLC.

Thank you

How do you do taxes for an online boutique.. Would i have to pay taxes in each state i sell to?

[@Sonteee215]

I was thinking of starting my website on big cartel.but if l don't register with my state .Will l owe money????

[@jadaegeiger9966]

Yes, fee varies from state to state

How do you get people to trust you to want to make that first purchase? I’m having issues making sales

Yes send me your questions 😊

[@alexisslayyshairco]

Do you have to get the license right away or can you start first

[@Shalovette]

You don’t have to.. but it’s best to, just to make sure you foundation is set properly

[@liltyy8994]

Where can I go to get my sellers permit and business license?

[@Shalovette]

It’s different for each state. You would need to visit your states department of revenue site or google “how to get a sellers permit/business license in your specific state”

[@Shalovette]

It’s really depends on your budget..I recommend starting with1 pack Of 5-10 different styles

Try checking your states department of revenue. Each state is different.

@@Shalovette yea it is I'm from Michigan so each city is different. I have to my city and get a home occupation form.

What's the first thing i need to do ? Het a website or what?

First thing I would recommend is establish your brand and start with getting merchandise because you can’t build a website without a brand and merch
