Incorporating a Business May 2021

Soon it is time to quit my procrastination and file an application to incorporate both The Shadow Network and La Conquistadora Copywriting. It should be pointed out these are two separate businesses.  The Shadow Network is an attempt to save the psychic bookshop business in California.  Out here, it is an industry all of its own.  Psychics have many ways of making money although I don’t trust many who want money out of their clients, being their only focus.  Sure, I said it out loud but that is the way I perceive others of my own kind since I’m unlike them.  If you overcharge, you are not doing others a favor.  Okay, fine, yes, I do not trust them but that is not the topic of this blog post.  Today my topic actually is how incorporating a business is a process I’m trying to educate myself on.  Gee, I seem to know this.  You can actually waive the fee if you play your cards right, yes, joke.

Businesses are started with a business plan that is a type of blueprint you present to investors to get funding.  Due to my health situation, I’ve decided to go the route of angel investing/equal partnerships not loans.  Loans will only aggravate my mental health. The Shadow Network is an LLC according to the free legal clinic I participate in at SCORE that has migrated to online for now because of the pandemic. My copywriting company is La Conquistadora Copywriting.  I named it such because I want it to get a chuckle from people.  My article freelance writing business is name Tough B, Inc.  I need to incorporate all 3 although I’m not so sure about Tough B.  I need to ask for legal advice again.

Legal Zoom seems to be a very convenient option but I’m looking at the State website first since that is the direction the legal advice folks at Santa Clara University pointed me in.  Here is a useful link as to how to incorporate in California https://www.californiaregisteredagents.net/incorporation/ using a company that takes a personable approach.  I really am looking for the California state website though, featuring the California Secretary of State. Here is a link to forms, samples and fees, where I can file immediately online.  I can’t go to companies to file but I can do it myself getting a fee waiver?

With my newfound stimulus check money, and my usual amount, plus my writing for Upwork, I just might be able to file $70.00 for the fee, and $5.00 for a Certified Copy Fee for The Shadow Network.  The fee was in my face, online.  I can stop procrastinating now but I’m not doing this today.  La Conquistadora copywriting has to be filed with the City of San Jose.  These are fees I do not know, since City Hall is closed due to the pandemic but eventually going to reopen one day soon enough. There is an email on this page I didn’t see.  I didn’t email before, but need to email.  Yes, that’s my procrastination tendencies again.

Okay, so email the city of San Jose, on the list, and it is something I could do today as part of this exercise.  I’ve decided I’m probably going to give Textbroker a break since I got a revision back on this one article I wrote which means I need the day off. Maybe two days off. Anyway though, I’m trying to catch up on this blog, which I’ve slipped up in updating. I emailed the city. That’s a start.  I’m doing my best to get my businesses off the ground though and La Conquistadora needs a business plan.  At the very least Tough B has one.  I even write plans for books.

            But see, I need my business administration AA, only because it has information in the classes I want to get my hands on. See my Facebook page for more lists as to what degrees I want, and I need to update this list.  I have a spreadsheet going with all the degrees I want.  This spreadsheet is long, and going to get longer by the time I’m done.  I’ve decided what I don’t want and what I do want. I’ve sorted through many a suppressed desire.  Anyway, yes, I’m going to eventually quit procrastinating and file a bunch of stuff, fictitious business names will become reality.
