A few ?

[sswee]

If its like Texas, you would have do do a pretty good volume to make it worth filing a DBA and getting a tax number. What is working for me is a few pieces placed at a local custom shop and word of mouth to some speed shops.

Thanks again,

Hey Pickle, "go MI", well as far as my intents. I would or should I say need to make some extra income. I was thinking if there is work out there I would rather do this than take a second job third shift. But I dont know if I can get enough work without advertising. I am not against growing this into a bigger "real" bussiness. I dont know if this system can be used for a commercial ap or not though. So I thought it best to grow into it slow. You know the ole walk before you can run addage. I do know in my area there is a market for a so called commercial plating shop. Especially anodizing. But I feel I would really be in over my head to try that at this point.

Meanwhile I think I am going to go ahead and make up some bussiness cards to hand out. I had gotten a tax number a while back when starting another deal, but that didnt work out, so I let the tax # expire. I may be able to reactivate it. A friend of mine is telling me that the tax number is kind of useless anyway in a service industry. That it only would help if I was selling a physical product. Not so sure, Im looking into that. I would think for now I will put off getting a DBA untill I see how much reaction I get from the cards and word of mouth. I do have a couple of friends that own bike shops and are willing to put up a display for me and talk it up. So for now I am making up a sample board with a place to put the bus cards on. We will see what happens.

Thanks guys,
Dave
