“Veteran owned”

My friend and I are starting up a business. He wants me to add “veteran owned” as part of our marketing. He is a veteran (Marine) but is not majority owner, he owns 25%. Is there any issue with this? I know In order to get VO certified they must be 51% owner, just wanting to make sure not to get called out lol

Purchase in full or use business credit card?

I am wanting to purchase a piece of equipment for my business. The cost is \~$3500. I've been accepted for a Capital One Spark credit card for my business with a $5k credit line. (This has been this week so it's brand new) I am wandering which route will be the smartest financial decision. I have the cash to purchase it in full, just not sure if there is a different route that is financially better to take. Thanks!

First Time Late Customer is pissed

Hi, So my business is coming up on a year old, I invoice via quickbooks, which I hate btw. I have at the bottom of my invoices that if mowing services are not paid within 14 days a late fee will be assessed in the amount of $30 USD. Sent an invoice on the 6th, sent it again on the 22nd with a late fee. Two days past the net 14. Customer is irate as she never opened the invoice on the 6th, and has a late fee. I only have a handful of google reviews, all 5 star, and want to maintain that, and expand. ​ I am feeling pretty shook, but am not wavering in removing the fee, especially after threatening me they would find another landscaper. I hate parking there, I have to block the whole street to mow anyway. They are also biweekly service. ​ Should I just cave and remove the fee? I mow the neighbor too, biweekly. Another hated lawn with debris left in it.

Can I charge academic related expenses to my business and deduct them?

I'll be going to law school soon and I own a business that nets me around $70k/yr. My goal is to get a full ride or at least a partial scholarship since I don't want to get into loans for a career that may not generate me that much. (Depending on where I go to school). Am I allowed to charge application expenses, tuition, books, etc to my business and deduct them as expenses? It's a single member LLC.
