I am a writer who has filed business write-offs on my personal tax return for 5 years as per the law. I have not made profits in those years. I have been advised by my accountant that tax regulations do not favor my continuing to file business write-off because I have not made a profit so should close out the writing business. How do I go about filing my taxes now? Do I just ignore the past years write offs as thought they were never deductions?

I started a small business 6 months ago that has been very successful. I have a business bank account, but have not done anything else to establish credit for the business.

I would like to lease a vehicle in the name of my small business and am curious if my business credit score would be too low?

Does anyone know a general guideline on how quickly a line of credit is established for a small business?

I would offer many different options for business owners to choose. printing and distributing flyers or corner signs, running ads in the newspaper and online websites or radio. Pretty much anything to do with advertising/ promoting for local businesses owned by individuals (like lawn care, roofing, restraunt, hair salon etc.) What should I do to start my business and is this a stupid idea?
