register my business

Well, after learning that I needed to work on my goal of getting out of debt before finishing this one, I am finally close enough to work on it again.

I just heard back from my supplier and have a new sales rep and will be getting updated price lists and details on the program for US buyers.

As soon as I have this I can resume formulating my plan and timeline, but I will have this done before tax season.

So I talked to an accountant today about business types and what it’d take to register my business. I got some really good information that is actually making me rethink whether to register as a proprietorship or an LLC.

I also found out a lot of good information about what I need to be aware of with bookkeeping and paying people for helping on special projects. I have a lot to think about now before filling out the paperwork.

I am glad that it’s only going to be a part-time business for now though. It will be good to be doing something creative to balance out my days in tech land.

I wanted to register my business name just for the fact that today is 8.8.08.

And I did!

I paid $60 by credit card.

This business is primarily for my freelance/sideline gigs. I still intend on creating a firm but this one is solely a one-woman show.

I got stumped on the business description section. I just put graphic design services. heh. For now. I do plan on extending that to different kinds of mediums when I get more experience in my field.

It’s a really great feeling though. It’s fantastic that where I live, my business is actually registered and legit.

Now if only I can get enough money so I can trademark it!
