Need assistance on small business information in Florida

[cco...@gmail.com]

Hope someone can asist me.
I have an online store already running since 2006. I had already
opened XXXX, LLC with DBA xxxx Gift Store on Sunbiz web site. I have
filed with Florida Tax revenue so I can declare my revenue and taxes
that occur within a sale if in Florida state . When I opened my
business account with my bank They opened account first, business
name XXX, LLC and underneath dba XXX Gift Store this is stated in my
bank checks. I also have opened a paypal pr account where I can punch
credit card number if I receive any offline orders, but usually it's
done automate through my web site where I don't see the cc number and
more secure.

What I;m trying to do is another online business, but as a hosting
provider where only services apply.

1. Opening up this new business can I keep my 1st xxx, LLC business
name? or do I need to add / pay for another buniess at Sunbiz cause
under this name I already have I already have an IEN number for
federal taxes

2. Can I change the business bank account to just xxx, LLC instead it
of have the dba already from my store one. or just open a new account

3. Paypal pro I have already the business name but when transaction
are done the customer cc statements shows the store name. Does that
mean I have to create and apply for whole other merchant account with
them fro the new business or DBA that I want to open.

4. Also since this is a hosting a service do I need to charge customer
from Florida sales taxes? since this is not an actual item gift I'm
selling?

Hope someone can help me and direct me to right direction.

Thank you

Hi CC,

Here is a bit of information to get you started. I may have more for
you next week.

For your first question on keeping the same business or starting a new
business, check with the Florida Department of State Division of
Corporations -- the folks who do Sunbiz. Give them a call at
850-245-6051. That's a direct line for questions on LLCs.

For your fourth question, on sales tax, check with the Florida
Department of Revenue at 800-352-3671.

Hope that helps.
