Any issues with purchasing a ".org" website, when the ".com" version is unavailable?

All of our business comes from e-mails, meetings, and in-general direct communication. I imagine anyone that goes to our website would get it directly from my e-mail signature or documents that I provide. So I think utilizing a ".org" wouldn't cause any issues in terms of access or someone accidently entering in the ".com" version. However, are there any legal issues I should be considering? When I enter the ".com" version of the URL it doesn't currently go anywhere. When I looked it up utilizing GoDaddy's WHOIS database, it looks like GoDaddy actually owns it.

First employee quit

Fist time long time here. I started a coffee shop and eatery with a bar upstairs 2 year ago in a town of 30k in the Midwest. Just had my first employee quit and I’m pretty sure it’s because I’m not “there enough” or implement his new ideas fast enough. I’m also going on 2 years, no paycheck, barely making it, so maybe that burnout is setting in for me. I’m trying to the take him leaving as personal because I’m a big believer that people don’t leave jobs, they leave people. I’ve tried really hard to create a good culture here and our turnover is very minimal. I guess I just want to say that the pressure of keeping the place on the rails, staffed and solvent while I’m not taking a paycheck is starting to break me. My question he is “Am I alone?” Anyone else grinding and just have such a hard time going in? TIA

Today, retail's biggest buzzword is omnichannel: an approach to commerce that involves both online and brick-and-mortar channels to create a seamless customer experience. It's a simple concept that requires a robust supply chain, keen logistical planning, and smart customer research to make work. But countless brands say it's all worth the effort. "The customer doesn't care where you are. They just want to love the brand, and they're going to buy it wherever they are," says Andy dunn, co-founder of the New York City-based men's clothing brand bonobos.⁠ ⁠ While that sounds simple, implementing an omni­chan­nel retail strategy--whether through brand-owned stores, retail partners, or both--can be messy.

Tracking bulk purchase inventory

Hey all - trying to get some advice. My SO runs a small business where she will buy items in bulk and resell them. To put it simply. Say she will buy 4 totes of bulk for $100 and then eventually sell it for say $600. Items are rarely ever the same. Our accountant is asking us to to keep track of inventory price paid per item. These totes could have hundreds of things in them, all different. So would she just divide the purchase price by how many items were in the lot? In Square enter the purchase price as item A .25 item B .25 item C .25? In QBO we log any money spent on inventory ad inventory assets. So we know how much we spent yearly on stuff. Does the IRS really care about how much each item costs? Is there a better way we can comply with our accountants request?

Accountant / Tax Adviser Orange County CA

Unhappy with my current accountant. They do the absolute minimum to advise me, and just data entry for my business and personal tax returns it seems. They also make an uncomfortable amount of mistakes that I catch, god knows the amount i don’t catch. Ideally, I would love to find someone local that is really helping me shape my decision making as my business grows, and advise on how to best (of course) minimize my tax liability. Anyone have someone they can’t live without in the oc aeea?

How to sell a pancake mix in 1 local supermarket?

I know, doesn’t sound super sexy BUT my mom has an incredible pancake mix she’s made (corn, oat, coconut flour etc) and I think a local supermarket would sell it for fun as a trial. How do I find out the food safety regulations/process to sell a product? Located in MA.

Paid as Individual or Company

Aloha. I'm a Scuba Instructor in O'ahu and own my own small business, but am working as an independent contractor for another scuba shop part time to save money and build things slow until I can support myself working for myself full-time. Is it better to have them write the checks to me personally or to my LLC? What would benefit me tax wise as well?
