Frequently asked questions

Can I deduct cameras, lenses, and editing hardware through a company?

Yes. Professional equipment used for your business is typically deductible. The rules on immediate expensing versus depreciation vary by jurisdiction, consult an accountant for your situation.

Should I own my editing software through the company?

Yes. Software subscriptions (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, After Effects, etc.) are business expenses when purchased through the company and deductible accordingly.

I work with YouTube creators internationally. Which entity is best?

A US LLC is popular among YouTube creators and the editors who serve them, as it enables Stripe US, AdSense for business, and USD invoicing. A UK Ltd is a strong option if you primarily serve UK or European creators and brands.

Can I license footage or music through my company?

Yes. If you also license stock footage or music as part of your business, the company can hold licences and receive licence fees as part of its income. This is common among videographers who license their content library.
