Starting a small business waiting I_485 approval..

[tapa]

HI, I am waiting I-485 approval and already got EAD(My wife, too). We hope to do a small family business(retail store) using the EAD card . But currently I am working as an employer at GC sponsor company. So I am wondering if I can use my name for business license and owner. Or Do we need to use my wife name? For business loan from bank, the licensed- name would be important. Which is better? Please let me know on any experience or knowledge. Your advice would bw very appreciated...

Hi Tapa,

Owning a business is like owning a stock.
No need for EAD or Green Card for that.

Working for the business does require EAD.

Let me know if you have any questions.
