Our son is 15. If he gets an LLC can he sign up for adsense? We live in Florida right now BUT we will be traveling or moving from state to state. Does he set up his LLC here? What if we move often? Thank you.

Hey Gemma,
Thanks for this great article! Clear and succinct, straight-talking info.
I was in the same boat couple of years back. I went my first few years in business as a sole proprietor. Then switched to an LLC once I was sure I was going to stick with it.
