Hello everyone,
Looking for advice on the best way to handle the following situation:
From July 2012 until December 2012 I published four "In 30 Minutes" titles on KDP using a DBA (doing business as) publisher name, which is attached to my social security number. Funds were paid to a business bank account set up under the DBA name.
At the beginning of this month, I set up a publishing company, i30 Media, as a Massachusetts corporation with its own tax ID number. Sales are growing, and I want to expand the "In 30 Minutes" brand to include works by other authors (and have several titles in various stages of development).
Is anyone aware of any issues with going into a KDP account, changing the DBA name to the corp name and updating the tax ID and bank info? It looks like I can do that (the fields for my KDP account appear to be editable) but I know at least one other distribution channel (iTunes) doesn't allow it. The KDP FAQ and forum pages do not contain information about making such a change.
Related question: Is there any benefit to creating a separate KDP account? That would be fine for the new titles, but I worry about unpublishing the old titles on the DBA account and republishing on the new corp account and losing ranking juice.
Any advice/observations would be appreciated!
Thanks
Ian
