Well, I officially took the plunge today. I registered my business with the State of Kentucky and the IRS for a tax-ID. If you are just starting out, this is the absolute first step. In order for me to open a bank account to keep business separate from personal, you have to get a Tax ID.
So, no turning back now. Although I was back and forth on what to name my business, I decided to stick with what I know won't change, my name. B. Kay Designs is my first initial "B", my middle name "Kay", and Designs because this does not limit me with what final products I might produce in the future. Although I will eventually hire someone to develop a website, blog, and branding for me, I have to make some $$ before any of this can happen. So, I'm working on some concepts for branding in the interim.
My husband and dog are out of town this weekend, which means LOTS of alone design time for me, yay! I am still working on developing my portfolio, so it will be sometime before I fully launch an ETSY shop. Tonight, I am meeting with another local online business owner that I met through the Junior League. I'm helping her with re branding her logo, and in return she is going to share with me her own business insights.
For those friends that have been supportive about my new adventure, THANK YOU! It takes confidence and courage to pull the trigger on something like this, and you have allowed me to do it!
Happy Friday!
