A little disclaimer I didn't mention super clearly in the video is that a lot of this information is US specific!! I'm not sure how taxes/licenses etc work in other countries so I don't know how useful the tax section of this video will be for any non-american viewers. sorry!

But... I can't believe it's been over a year since I filmed my last art business video! I've learned a lot about taxes + manufacturing, so I wanted to compile it into a video for you all!! I hope this info can be useful :) As always if you have any more questions please leave a comment down below and if I can't get to it hopefully someone else can!
