If so, who do we call? What do we do? Help us Obi-wan Kenobi, you’re the usually hope.

Starting any business is something that should be considered carefully. I highly recommend doing research before investing your resources.

Good Luck!

Most state websites will have info in searches and registering a business name. It will probably cost less than you’d expect. When I do mine in NV it is only going to cost something like 35.00 to search and 25.00 to reserve the name anually.
