Can I be an 1099 independent contractor of my own LLC?

I have a pet care business and I "employ" 3 others as 1099 employees. When I complete jobs the money is just going straight to my personal account currently anyways (which I need to set up a business account, i'm on it) but do I need to/can I set myself up as an independent contractor as well? So I get paid separately from the business? Thanks in advance!

Collecting Payments Efficiently

So I didn’t know what subreddit to ask this in, but I thought someone here might be able to help. I run a sports tournament on the side and how it works is the first 96 people to pay for a spot get to play. I set a time when everyone is allowed to sign up and they all pay me right away at that time through venmo or zelle. However, this has been extremely inefficient as I have to go through my transaction history and one by one count who has signed up and is eligible to play. Can anyone recommend a better way/payment software I could utilize to organize this? Ideally, I would want to set a time and at that time is when everyone will be allowed to get in and pay for a spot. If this is the wrong place to ask this, could someone refer me to a subreddit that’s better fit for this question?

Google adds worth it?

Hi everyone, I recently started a cleaning business and trying to find customers is difficult. I’m thinking of a monthly google advertising budget of $300. According to google this will get me about 70 google business page visits per month. It seems low but is that normal? I was also thinking of spending $400 to send out 400 direct mail flyers to my neighbors. Unfortunately I can’t do door hangers because it’s not allowed in my state. Any advice is really appreciated.

A naive looking for info

Hello - I am in my mid 20’s w finance degree and work experience. Looking to start a business but I can’t seem to find answers online for my questions. For instance, if I have $80K saved up and want to buy an existing business that is up for sale for $300-$500K. Where do I get the financing from (banks obvs or credit unions) but how do they work? I put a downpayment down and pay them every month like a business mortgage for leased businesses? I saw that Canadian gov. Has something similar like that - has anyone taken that? How is the process?

Paper bag business

Hi all, these past few months i have been thinking about having my paper bag business started to replace plastic grocery bags at stores and restaurants,…etc. I am planning on doing this business just because I am eco friendly and do something about it. I know that plastic bags can be eco friendly if recycled properly by people but people’s thoughts are different when it comes to paper bags. They are likely to ban plastic bags in my state soon as well. Since many people here have small businesses, do you have a need to use paper bags in your business? This is just to learn more about the market and paper bag industry.
