Might want to tuck that (and your TWO years of experience) back in.I guess if you consider doing 80% MORE investor business in 2024 than I did in 2023 "slow", okay then... ha ha ha.But hey - if people like you insist on being a complete jerk here, showing everyone exactly who they are, as Mel Robbins says, I'll "Let them".Who are you, again?

Your job, your savings, sounds like you have a supportive dad, you live in a place you evidently love, you’ve had exposure to the business.

When I asked for a loan, they asked if my business received money in Euros. 

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

:I had a consultation with Andersons a month ago... his youtube videos are great and a lot of good information... but they have packages... and are VERY VERY expensive... for the same setup as other companies for a lot less.I contacted Royal Legal Solutions as well... packages as well and expensive.I also contacted the Small Business office in Kansas and a couple of local lawyers.So far Mark J K has been the best consultation and fees as very down to earth... but will confirm tomorrow :) 

We have been in Business since 2000, survived the 2008 collapse.

It links to our business bank account and our business credit card so come tax time, deductions should be easier.
