I live in Chicago and have been using Groupon for a while. The last one I bought was 50% off a 1-hour massage and they were booked for 2 months before I could get in to see anyone. Groupon is hugely popular here (obviously)

My understanding is that they use it to verify your identity and it's also used to set your daily and per-transaction limits. My guess is that this is just fraud prevention and a way Square can keep scammers off their service.

If someone's got your credit card--Square isn't going to make it any easier to make unauthorized purchases. It's probably more work given how easy it is to use someone else's card in retail and restaurant POS.

It might cover you financially--to an extent. But they'd still be suing you, personally and not your company. As an owner/partner in a corp or LLC you have full legal separation from your company (so long as you are running it legally) and

But a $40,000 mistake? I can't wrap my head around that number. With a little forethought and a few days research you could have been ready with those kinds of questions before meeting with a lawyer or an accountant. Especially when your in

This is the cost of starting up a business. It's not a Wordpress Blog--it's a business and it's gonna cost money. If you can't stomach $1000/year in filing fees you either need to find a business that will earn some revenue in the first yea

I don't agree with this. It is vital to have legal separation between your company and yourself--whether that be in the form of an S/C Corp or a Limited Liability Company. I just incorporated in Illinois and it cost me about $400 through Le
