Today was a big day in the history of my business - I sent in the paper work (and the $100 check!) to get the business’ legal name. The registered business will be the “owner” of both In My Memories and The New Business Blog.

I was surprised at how easy the process really was. I just went to Virginia’s webpage, followed a couple of links and then printed the documents out. I would have figured the process would have been a bit more cumbersome.

I’m sure no matter which state you are in, the process has to be pretty similar to what I’ve done.
I know there are websites out there that will do this services for you, but they didn’t seem that cheap. I figured I should be able to register my business myself and keep some extra money in my account.

While I was driving home from work on Friday I called the Clerk’s Office to check on the availability of the name, which, thankfully, wasn’t taken.

Once i get confirmation that the paperwork has been processed, I’ll go ahead and share it with anyone that will listen.
