FAQ

• Do I really need an LLC for my Shopify store?
  You can start as a sole proprietor, but forming an LLC is the most straightforward way to protect your personal assets — your home, savings, anything in your name — from business debts or lawsuits.

• What's the difference between an LLC and an S-Corp?
  An LLC is the simplest path to liability protection. An S-Corp is a tax election you can make on top of an LLC — it can reduce self-employment taxes once your business is consistently profitable. Lovie can help you figure out which makes sense now, and help you convert later if your situation changes.

• Can Lovie help me get a business bank account?
  Yes. Keeping business and personal finances separate makes bookkeeping and tax time much less painful.

• I use Stripe and PayPal. How does that work with an LLC?
  Once your LLC is formed, you connect your Stripe and PayPal accounts to your new business bank account.

• What if I sell on multiple platforms, like Etsy and Amazon too?
  No problem. Your LLC covers your business activities across all platforms. You can run your Shopify store, Etsy shop, and Amazon FBA business under the same company.

• How is Lovie different from LegalZoom?
  LegalZoom fills out forms. Lovie guides you through the decisions and forms your entity for one flat one-time price, with registered agent and mail scanning available for $79/yr. No surprise add-ons.

• Do I have to collect sales tax from customers in every state?
  Sales tax nexus rules changed in 2018 after the South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling — now each state sets its own economic nexus thresholds.

• Which state should I form my ecommerce LLC in — my home state or Delaware?
  For most direct-to-consumer ecommerce businesses, forming in your home state is cheapest and simplest. Lovie recommends the right state based on your situation in the first conversation.

• What happens if I get sued by a customer — does my LLC really protect me?
  An LLC protects your personal assets as long as you keep business and personal finances separate.

• I'm dropshipping from overseas suppliers. Do I need a US LLC?
  If you're selling into the US market, a US LLC makes payment processing, supplier contracts, and returns/chargebacks much smoother.

• Can I move my existing ecommerce business into a new LLC?
  Yes. Lots of founders start as sole proprietors and convert once revenue justifies the overhead.

• Do I need an LLC to sell on Shopify?
  While you can start as a sole proprietor, an LLC formation is highly recommended as soon as you have consistent sales.

• How much does it cost to start an ecommerce LLC?
  The exact state fees vary, but with Lovie, it's $29 one-time, and registered agent is $79/year.
