    My SBTPG status says "payment completed," but how long should I realistically wait before I start to worry? Refunds usually take about 21 days from the IRS, but third-party processors can add extra days. When will I receive my refund?

    @Mark said in Is it really worth putting a lot of money into AI automation?:

    You’re totally right that instant-response systems are a big help for small businesses in the U.S. However, if we focus solely on the operational aspects, we might overlook the bigger picture. Before investing a significant amount of money, it’s crucial to set clear goals, such as the number of leads that convert into sales, how well we retain customers, and the importance of response times.

    This way, we can determine whether AI automation is providing a good return on investment, similar to what the major players in the industry experience.

    Am I losing sales by complicating measurement frameworks? Since 78% of customers buy from the first responder, shouldn’t I test basic AI tools to quickly capture those sales instead of focusing on complex tracking and data?

    Setting up a non-resident LLC is exciting, but don't overlook the paperwork. You’ll need to file the BOI report promptly and submit Form 5472/1120 annually, even without U.S. income. Since banks often require a physical presence, consider using a third-party service. Many people stop after obtaining an EIN, so stay ahead of those yearly filings.
