New LCO in Ohio (need advice)

[wormburner]

I need to know if I need any other legal documents to start my LCO.I have applied for my name registration through the state(waiting for it for three weeks now).Once I have my name registration I can fill out the SS-4 form for my tax I.D. or E.I.N.Is there anything else I need?and do I need to fill out a
D.B.A. with my county? Thanks for the help. :help:

state vendors licence, you have to collect sales tax if your income is greater than 5000. lawn care is taxable

Thanks for the web info.But when I downloaded the info. it gave me a Venders License application and a Service Vendors License application which Application do I need?

[LawnBrother]

service vendors application
glad you found what you needed. Good luck!

[wormburner]

Also does anyone know if I can use my Business name on fliers and ads without getting a confirmation back from the state yet?(still waiting been 3 weeks now)

Do you want to take that chance? I can understand you wanting to get your flyers out there, but you're gonna feel pretty stupid if you put out a bunch of them with the name you've chosen and then find out you have to change the name.

[wormburner]

Yeah that was kinda what I was thinking also but there is a state website that you can search for availability on names and the one i picked showed it was available but I think I'll wait.Does anyone know how long it takes to get anything back from the state so I can get started?

[The C Man]

If you mailed in the form with your name then just call the secretary of state and see if they can tell you if it was approved or not. When I registered my name I don't think it took more than amonth to get approval back from them.

Thanks The cman I'll call them on Monday. :waving:
