Working on improving https://dartsva.com/ (Mainly content marketing). A new idea that spun up from that is an agentic OpenGraph image tool. E.g. for the blogs for dartsva I am creating og images with that script and via agents which works very well.
Why is that even necessary in the first place? Thats what people hate about bureaucracy. Why can't we just submit a form somewhere from home and someone looks over it from a queue. In the meantime you are allowed to start your business already. Bad process here. No process is 100% times better. An async one with forgiveness is getting you 80% there.
What kind of business would you like to run that it needs to be established today and cannot wait a few weeks? There are many repercussions, social security and tax wise. Do you expect a government to keep up with a free-for-all form that creates companies ?
I am working on Stripe Tax, but do not know Lemon Squeezy so well yet. But something Lemon Squeezy does different are the following: the KYC works different and is more restrictive. One of the differences to Stripe considering we still give you as a merchant the responsibility to be tax-compliant after all (you need to add tax registrations into stripe explicitly). Also think about maybe fraudulent cases, LS must be much more restrictive otherwise their payment provider is blocking them.
One thing which is weird about tax is physical presences in some cases. In some countries, you actually might need a representative to file your taxes. Plus you need to learn how to register in those countries and how to file taxes.
There are probably more things that you need to look up, but that’s what I remember.
MoR for marketplaces basically means merchant of record for Stripe Connect and you, as the platform, take the tax liability via the MoR functionality automatically for your sellers (connected accounts), right?
Mind sending me an email at kevinpeters at stripe dot com? Would love to hear about the use case.
