names??

[crazyboy]

first off how do you guys go about picking names for buisnesses. anyways i am going to start designinga website for future breeding projects but i need to find out a name. could you tell me if any of these exist or which one you like most.

[BoidKeeper]

When you register your business they'll tell if the name you want is taken if it is you pick another one.
Pretty simple I guess.

lol yup. how do you register a buisness??

[drewlowe]

Go to the secretary of state, in your own state. Go to the database search then put in the name of the buisness you want to see if the names taken. http://www.state.nj.us/Business.shtml

First thing you would have to do is see if the name is taken already if not then procied to get a EIN # (Employer Idenification Number Fedreral) then you would have to register in your state for business name and unemployment (and other fun stuff), not sure on the specifics of how NJ does it. www.irs.gov

Why say anything to the government? Heck, it is your business, not theirs. You do not "have to" reserve anything likes names or whatnot. Just silly. Pick a name, and it is yours. There are several businesses that carry the same names. Not like your competing with names like Macy's, Dillard's, Safeway or Wal-Mart, your running a home business that is only yours to control.

Do you think anyone knows about my businesses? NO...they belong to me. Me only. My hard work, my money, my business. When you register a name, all they want is to tax you. Forget it. Do your own thing and leave the wolves out of the yard......

True you don't HAVE to register your business name, but if you want to be known as an Incorporation (small or large) you have to. I'm not sure what all of them are cause i just fill out the different forms and do bookkeeping, but there are some benifits when you register your business and get and EIN # and all the other taxes.

If you don't claim the money you made off selling as other income, and you get audited it can come back and bite you in the @ss.

ok thanks...meat man i live in toms river. i was born in rahway though. i was planning on just getting a small breedinbuisness going in a couple years so i am planning for the future.

The easiest thing in your case would be to talk to a C.P.A. or an E.A. (an accountant) They will be able to tell you the best route to take.
