When the owner issues a check to pay their bill known as a draw what happens?

As a business owner, you may be paid a salary, or you might take a draw as an owner. How you receive money from the business depends on the type of business. If you are an owner of a sole proprietor business, you can take a draw from the business for personal expenses. This draw is not a deductible business expense; it's just money you take from profits (assuming there are profits!) to pay personal bills. When you take a draw, you should write a check to yourself from the business checking account and deposit it in your personal checking account.

As a small business owner should your corporation own your house so as to legally protect it and is the corporation owning it the only way that the business can pay association dues and property tax?

Your business corporation should NOT own your house. Such ownership would give your business creditors access to your home equity. Also keep in mind that you cannot create business deductions out of personal expenses merely by having your business own your personal property. On the other hand, if you do use personal property for business purposes, youi can rent such property to your business. You would then have to include such rent as personal income, complete a Schedule E tax form on your personal return, and claim such expenses against the income as the IRS allows. IN the case of a home, for example, if you use 25% of it for a business office or a carpentry shop, you would then be entitled to deduct 25% of the properties expenses against your rental income, including depreciation. It's complicated. Hire a local CPA.

How much does a bakery owner get paid a month?

It's impossible to give a specific dollar amount, because ownership is more complicated than you seem to think. The owner of a bakery (or any other business) gets "paid" as much he decides to pay himself, which will depend on how much the bakery actually brings in, what his expenses are, and how much he decides to reinvest in the business rather than simply taking as personal income.

What are the six main areas of business operations that the government regulates?

What are the six main areas of business operations that the government regulates? As a sole proprietor or a partner, the income your business earns is considered your personal income. As a result, the business income is taxed at your personal tax rate. It is doubled when you are a self-employed business owner because you are considered both employer and employee. It is different for a corporation because you pay personal income tax based on the salary you earn and other income derived from the business. In addition, the shareholders pay personal income tax on salaries or dividends. There are severe penalties for failure to file and pay income taxes.
