I was told that your certificate or the letter that comes with it says whether you need to file monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually, but I’m sure it depends on your state. And I’m sure you’d need to confirm it with your bookkeeper or tax pro. I can’t find anything on my cert about when to file so I need to find out but haven’t hired a bookkeeper yet. I started my business earlier this year but only got my resale certificate last month.

@Preston Neubert I do enjoy this platform. It’s nice to go directly to the app when I don’t want to do anything except access the design group. It’s easy to go down rabbit holes on Facebook and then waste time of things other than my business growth.

@Alexis Pritchard how do like the 3D designs? I'm struggling with some aspects but I'm sure it just takes time. I did a support call with a few features I was stuck on so I should probably do that again.

@Heather Mitchell yes!!! It took me a while to figure out that my furniture selections were only in the mood boards.

@Preston Neubert with SEO I guess I should say, I've done as much as I understand to do. I do not get all the techie stuff at all, so for the time being, I've done what I can. Of course I want to hope that my business grows to the point that I can hire out help with this and other things I don't understand so I can focus on design.

@Heather Mitchell I'm in the same boat right now. I am using every free resource available but there are certain things we just have to start paying for regardless of the income. But it's scary to keep spending! I'm just trying to keep hope that as I continue refining my process it'll all feel worth it someday.

I would like to know, if you as the designer are not the responsible party or acting as project manager, how you manage the relationship and communicate between contractor, architect, client and yourself. I would love to do new builds and full remodels but I do not have the licensing to manage projects on that side, nor do I want to. I would love input on aspects that would affect my design like lighting placement, but do not want to be involved in the agreements between the contractor/architect and the client. I would also love info on pricing.
