Website

I currently have a website for my personal blogging. But I need assistance on making it look better can anyone help?

Calculating shipping for cost per unit.

Question for the group with a little background. Working on a small homemade candle business, and I have a supplier for fragrance oils in Washington. I live in the South East US. I’m trying to accurately calculate my total cost per unit. The place I buy my fragrance has a flat shipping fee of 8.50. I’ve orders anywhere from 1 to 15 oils per order; however shipping is still 8.50. How do I accurately include that shipping cost in my total cost per unit? I make candles in bulk.

Anyone moved to the US from the UK?

We're thinking of moving to the US from the UK and I'm wondering what the implications will be for my company. I've looked online and it seems complicated. Would I need to transfer my tax residency and keep the company registered in the UK? Or set up a new company in the US? This might be difficult as I'm registered as a CIC which has certain conditions like limitations on transferral of assets. Or avoid the hassle by travelling around more (I'm a digital nomad) and keeping everything as it is? Also, we're thinking Nevada which has no income tax or corporation tax? So maybe it would make the hassle worth it? Any recommendations would be much appreciated. I know I need to consult with an accountant, I'm just hoping to get a better understanding before I do

Dropping the “Inc.”

Started up my new business, “ABC, Inc.” Are there any issue with dropping the “Inc.” for marketing purposes? On my website, invoices, anything legal I will always put “ABC, Inc.”, but on social media and content just run as “ABC.” Or do I need to submit an assumed name?

Small business loan with bad credit?

I have a great opportunity that could change the direction of my life and my family. I was offered a spot in a rare franchise outreach for veterans in a company I am very familiar with. They're willing to forgo the franchise fee of nearly 60k for 3 veterans and having contracted with this company I'm a shoe in. Here's the dilemma. I will still need about 70-75k in startup capital. My current credit score is like 615 (I got laid off and had financial issues the last year or so). I do own a home with around 100k in equity though. Is this a pipe dream, or is there something I can do? Thank you all for your advice.

What are you searching for?

Intrusive question, I know. **What I'm really asking is:** what pain points are you experiencing in your business? What frustrations are you experiencing? When you experience these frustrations, what forums / subreddits do you go to? What do you search for in Google / Quora / other platforms? **Asking because I'd like to know how I can better serve you**. My goal on Reddit is to triage common pain points small business owners (1-100 sales) experience, and do my best to help you. P.S. this is being cross-posted to several subreddits - thank you in advanced for reading if you see this popping up several times!
