Does having a private address/registered agent in California make any difference for privacy since all personal addresses are public anyway?

Should I boost on Insta?

So I just started my small business a week ago- I craft keychains and keycaps out of polymer clay. So far my customers have been friends and family, and I'm only based on Instagram but I'm trying to reach a wider audience. I switched my profile to a business one, and now it's asking me to "boost" my posts. Does anyone have experience with "boosting" their profiles? Does it actually get more people to visit your page? Is it worth the cost? Thanks for any help!

In-person pricing vs Shopify

I have recently started my own business, which has grown much quicker than anticipated. I initially set up a store on Shopify however, word of mouth has spread locally and I have an opportunity to have my products in a local boutique. If I'm charging $17.95 + tax on Shopify, what is the best method to price and charge customers for my product in this boutique? The boutique owner has been kind enough to not charge me shelf space or ask for a cut, but I do plan on give some percentage to them. Any advice would be appreciated because every scenario I come up with has a downside that I'm not a fan of. Thanks in advance.

QBO - tax rate

My VAT seems to be 'exclusive', rather than 'inclusive'. I've selected 'inclusive', and the rate is correct, and I set up the rates to charge on purchases and on sales. Yet, QB is showing all my totals as 'exclusive', so all my totals are 23% less than they should be (ie, the VAT rate). How do I get the VAT to be reflected, and to show my totals as including VAT, rather than excluding VAT. Obviously, the idiots employed by quickbooks don't have a clue. Their genius suggestions include logging on and off, changing browsers, etc. I've spent days trying to fix this. I'd appreciate your help. Thanks.

Best App to Have Multiple Business Phone Numbers on Your iPhone?

I have a couple (very) small businesses and am looking at branching out a DBA for one of them which would have another phone number. I’m already using Google Voice and Talkatone for the two businesses. I would love to find a single app that allows multiple numbers within the app to have unique voicemail and all ring my phone. Has anyone found a good solution to get multiple numbers all within one app? Currently Talkatone and Google Voice are free but I’d be willing to pay for an app that would do this.
