Help with FB ads.

Hi everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask so if not please inform me where I should post prior to deletion thanks. Onto the question. Mother of my daughter has a 15yr old photography business thru FB. Recently she's noticed if she runs ads then she books shoots if no ads its crickets. The problem is she's spending $600-$800 a week on ads. These ads are costing her almost 50% of gross income. Do you know of any resources that either of us could read up to better manage her advertising budget. Thanks any resource, suggestions or anything you may think is helpful is appreciated.

Question about buying a business

So I have been thinking about investing in a business. I have been thinking of something like hvac or landscaping. Something that hopefully can’t be affected too much by a recession. The the businesses I have been looking at are both over 15 yea old and have about 10 employees so I guess I wouldn’t be doing much of the work that requires those specific skills and the owner are willing to help for about 6 months to help the transition. I can get the money to buy a business but I have concerns over buying a business I have never worked in. My background is mostly managing farms. Just looking to see if there are people on here who have taken that sort of leap and how they handled that new challenge and what advice they might have.

Trademark foreign last name

Can i trademark an foreign last name? I came up with my random brand name using a random generator and tweaked it a bit. Turns out its a Japanese last name. People in Japan have the name on Linkedin. Can I still trademark this name since my trademark is specific to the US? I have not started selling my products yet but I do have physical products with a logo/name on it. Thank you

Promoting a Niche Tutoring Business

In the city I'm in, there's a standardized test that's given every year to 8th graders for admittance into public magnet schools. There's very few competitors in the field at the moment and I want to be able to put my name out there to attract potential clients. I've been looking into more traditional modes of advertising such as physical flyers, but from my research, you can't do this without a permit and I'm trying to avoid as much cost early on as possible. Is there specific outlets I can look at to promote the tutoring business or am I most likely going to look at the the same outlets everyone looks at to advertise this kind of business? Furthermore, is there any easy way to find out if my form of advertising will be legal?

Can you do business banking without filing business taxes?

Hi everyone, I just formed an LLC! My primary concern is I don't want to file business taxes (yet). So I know I can use pass-through taxing to do this so it all goes on my own taxes. However, can I do that and still have a business bank/credit card? PLEASE educate me, explain as far in depth as you like! I am so lost. edit: I'm in Texas.

If you had a small business and you wanted one of those vending machine companies to put their vending machine with snacks and sodas/ coffee in the building of your business how much do you usually get paid for, as I guess they just keep the gross receipt?

AI Erotic Audio could probably be a goldmine

This literally just popped into my mind and could probably be super profitable but I don’t have the passion to actually make it something tangible so here’s a free method. Use an AI voice changer, find a sexy voice, write a script for what ever scenario you want. You obviously don’t need a face and can replicate this as long as you’re creative. I’m not aware of any erotic audio sites but this could easily be turned into a PH/OF account. Any pitfalls I could be missing?

Need help with low-cost website host that can later be turned to e-commerce! Also what platform to advertise on

Currently I have the domain i want via google sites. I bought the domain to reserve. It will be a static site for starters (not sure which CMS/portal to use). I have experience with netlify where i can host via github repo- Not sure on the ecommerce piece. Ecommerce- i think shopify will work eventually but interested on how i can get the domain i bought transferred to them? I am also open to choosing different platform for this. Should i go with Amazon, Ebay, Etsy, Ebay etc as a place to get my product out to reach more customer? I think the website will need a lot of heavy marketing to get it off the ground. Other platforms might be quicker to sale through. I am selling Ethnic outfits sourced from my home country for a specific time of the year each year. This requires reaching out to certain demographics of people, from certain background and ethnicity. Please suggest! What's the best place which doesn't take a huge cut?

Looking to purchase a small coffee shop

I do not have a business background but am interested in buying and running a small coffee shop on a lake near where I live. It is an incredible location but the shop is poorly managed and has a dingy outdated feel to it. Ideally I would want to apply for a 7a or 504 business loan and make an offer to purchase. What's the best way to apply for this? Best way to come up with a business plan? Best way to make an offer on a business that's not necessarily for sale? Best way to renovate and manage and run the shop after acquired? Just looking for general business advice or a place or person I can find great business mentorship.

Looking for company phone options

We just recently opened our LLC and are getting ready to launch our business. The registered agent we used had a free trial of Corporate Phone for 2 months and the price changes to $9.99/month after that. We expect most of our business to be online and don't expect to get very many phone calls. The Corporate Phone app is horrible and crashes regularly. Any suggestions on something that works well and is cheap for 1 line?
