Hi all,

I have a website that i want to start monetizing. Once it's generating enough income of course i'll think of registering an LLC or sole proprietorship company.

But i'm not there yet and i still want to get paid. My issue is that Paypal has 3 types of accounts: Personal, Premier and Business. Personal doesn't allow you to get paid above a certain benchmark, and your account is in your name, Premier allows you to get paid from clients but account is still your personal name, and with Business you get paid and ur account is in your business name.

What is the best way to get paid, without breaking any rules, just a short term workaround, which will allow me to get paid AND have the website name as the account holder instead of the non-professional personal name, before registering the company? At least in the beginning baby steps?

Anyone has had any experience with Paypal setups for new websites without having your name as your account?

Thank you all for your support.

    I started with Premire. Verified it with my bank.

      Hi Joe, but ur account is in your personal name right? Not your business name. My question was how can u set it up in a way to use a business name (site name really) before actually registering the company.

        With a Premier account, you can use up to 4 (I think) different headers with your account. It's been a while since I have needed to change any.

        In your case, make a nice graphic with Ziad.com or whatever. Set it up with PayPal as a header. Whenever someone clicks on your PayPal link they will see whatever you have put in the graphic.

        Am I answering your question?
