I have a question about buisness law
Hello ****, I'd be happy to help with your business law query. Could you please provide me with more details about the specific issue you're facing in Texas?
I was hired by a company in New York to work remote from Texas as a customer service officer, well I got promoted fairly quickly and was asked to be the virtual head of office in Texas. They paid for an LLC in my name and want me to open a buisness banking account to process large sums of money with from clients. Is this normal this is my first job like this.
Hello ****,
While it's not uncommon for companies to open local business entities for operations, it's unusual for an employee to handle large sums of client money through personal accounts. This could potentially expose you to legal and tax implications.

it is through a buisness account but the account is in my name
Hello ****,
Even if it's a business account, having it under your personal name might still expose you to potential liabilities, especially if things go wrong. It's advisable to seek professional advice for clarity on this matter.
