Durham’s Pineiro named NC Small Business Person of the Year - Bizjournals.com

Piñeiro is a former hairstylist who was searching for a good-paying job back in 1998 to support her daughter. Landing a position with a construction staffing firm, she soon reached the conclusion that she could provide a better quality of service herself.

She then launched TSI, which specializes in finding work electricians and other construction subcontractors.

With business slow after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Pineiro looked for alternatives to generate income. She opened two Edy's Ice Cream parlors to help keep TSI afloat. For two years she scooped desserts while raising her daughter and running TSI from an ice-cream shop storeroom.

When the economy picked up, she sold the parlors and began to build her business .

Washington Mutual Small Business Checking?

I am thinking of opening a free small business checking account. Has anyone used them for this service? And if yes, would you recommend WAMU as a good small business bank?

If you don't like them, who would you recommend for a new small business company., (I am trying to keep my start-up costs down.)

By the way, I am in California - southern, that is.


They were pretty good with me when I was a start up. I like their service and they went over and beyond when it is was time to grow my business. This is my experience. I own a small billing company.

I have a small home business in Washington state when I sell an item do I charge tax on shipping?


Laws pertaining to hobbies/small businesses in Washington State?

I'd like to start selling a few things as a hobby. How much to I have to make before I have to collect tax or file my taxes (I am under 18, don't have a job, and don't do any of that right now).
But what is the filing requirement amount? If it's $600, I doubt I'll make that. This is an extremely small side business.
But, for instance, one doesn't collect sales tax when selling something on eBay.

Wouldn't it be along those lines?


The filing requirement for federal income tax kicks in at $500.

As to collecting sales tax, technically that starts with your first dollar of sales.
