What you are trying to do is enjoy the financial benefits of your product's sales without being willing to assume the risk (or transfer the risk to an insurer) of liability should something go wrong.\n\nThe annuals of business history are littered with many products engineers "thought" were safe only to find out later....they weren't.\n\nIf you really want to sell a product, then you should be willing to test it to make sure.\n\nYou owe that -- at a minimum -- to your customers.\n\nIf you are not willing to be absolutely certain you have a safe product, then you shouldn't be in business.

Private investors would be your best bet, as bank would not entertain you if you don't have any previous business history in business.

Yes but you have to open proper accounts with banks in Singapore, Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Central Depository (CDP).

All you need is cash.  I opened my first account in college.\n\nThey don't care whether or not you are employed.

The process for incorporation is different in each state.  It generally requires a filing with the Secretary of State in the state of incorporation.\n\nAfter incorporating in your state of choice, you must apply for an EIN from the IRS and register with the state division of taxation in your state of incorporation.  If you are going to do busines in states other than the state of incorporation, you must register your corporation and Tax ID in those states as an out-of-state corporation (which is called a foreign corporation, even if it is incorporated in the US).

Make a portfolio website.  Maybe take a couple jobs for little to no cash to expand on that portfolio.  Etc.\n\nAs far as being officially recognized, you could go ahead and register the business and get a federal tax id issued but that may be overkill at this point.  In all reality you probably won't get a lot of leads from the net when starting out but more by word of mouth so anything "official" early on isn't all that important.  Most likely the purchasing party will just 1099 you as an individual for tax purposes.

You are allowed to buy property.  There is no requirement to show your status for any purchase.  Financing the purchase would be more challenging since you would not be able to prove your income.

You have to open an account first.

Ask them.\n\nThat is private information that is protected through privacy laws.  If a bank or someone gives that out, they would be in TROUBLE!!

It depends on the state you are in.  The secretary of state will have informantion on what information needs to be filed with the secretary of state to form a corporation.  If you are not going to form it yourself, many times it is just as cheap to go to a local small time solo lawyer than to pay for these online incorporation services that advertise everywhere.

Depending on your state.  Most require nothing.  I cant say for sure though that all are that way.  Check out your states Secretary of State website, and they can provide you with more information.  Example of a search would be California Secretary of State, which is in this case http://www.ss.ca.gov\n\nIt would still be a good idea to set up a small corp, such as an LLC to offer you financial protection.  Say for example your art work gives someone a paper cut and it gets infected and they die, your personal assets would be protected if you have set up a corp properly.  Its not expensive to do (maybe $100-200) if you get a good book and do all the filings with your state yourself.\n\nGood luck on your new company!!!\n\nEdit:  A business licence has nothing to do with filing or dealing with taxes... Unless of course you open a corp and have to pay corp taxes (LLC's taxes in California are $800 a year).  You would just claim the income on your personal taxes under the MISC INCOME portion.  If you have a Corp you will get a K-1 from that corp with your earnings.

You really can't. You CAN incorporate yourself (ie do the paperwork), but you still have to file the paperwork and pay the fees to the Dept of Corporations, and the State, and the tax people, and everybody. Those fees will probably exceed $250, depending on your business.

most banks allow that on the bank website. you need to have a password and log on id for your account.

NO! do not give any personal information to anyone but your bank. if in question I would ask for names, phone numbers address, managers names, website address and if no reply or they try to sweet talk you out of the information hang up and contact your bank let them figure it out.

yes. since you opened it up jointly then both you and whoever you signed up with have access to the funds.

You can open an account with any bank if you have the money. As long as you dont have bad checks.
