Ran across this article from our friends at Hybrid Mom. It’s about couples who share parenting responsibilities equally and described my family situation perfectly.
You can call yourself a business, but until you’ve gotten an EIN (or Tax ID number, which is the same thing) you can’t get too far. Most banks, the IRS, even wholesalers, want this number. It’s easy to get, so we think you should just do it.
You rock! You’ve found a business name that has that certain ring to it- it captures your personality perfectly, it SOUNDS successful, and it’s not owned by anyone else. Well, now’s the time to make it official.
You might have the most awesomest, super-de-dooperist name in mind for your business, but if someone else on the planet has already used the name, you might best consider picking something else. Trust us, it can save a lot of confusion in the long run.
Go Baby is happy to announce that we have been accepted by the United Inventors Association and are now a member of the largest organization dedicated to supporting inventors.

Choosing a name for your business can be more stressful than choosing a name for your new baby! You want something unique, but memorable. Something that is associated with success, honesty, integrity and quality.
When you’re starting your own business, there is no better word than “FREE.” No, there is no replacement for the paid advice of a lawyer or accountant, but the more research you do ahead of time, the better prepared you will be when you have your appointment. You can save lots of time by doing your homework, and as we all know, time is money!
