Getting More Serious About Side Money

April 25th, 2014 at 03:40 am

Putting a lot more thought into doing more pet sitting. Like actually signing up with professional associations, getting insurance & bonded and creating business cards, maybe a website.

KiKi here on SA has been giving me lots of good info via email - Thank You KiKi! Smile

Brainstorming some business names right now...
Any clever ideas? I want something that reflects caring and professional service.
(Leaning toward - Pawsitively Professional Pet Care)


In other news:

DH had a short day yesterday and a short day today. Frown

I had a survey come into work this morning. It was online and I earned a $20 Amazon gift card. The company is supposed to mail it and it could take up to 10 weeks!
It will be a nice surprise when it does show up.

    For the name, unless you have your name in the title in some way, you will have to do a fictitious business license (doing business as) and run an ad for a certain amount of time. I can't remember the length a week? ten days? It depends on your jurisdiction.

    So I suggest something like "Pawsitively perfect pet sitting by Jane Doe". My last name is part of my business name.

    Check with Secretary of State website to make sure your name isn't already used (if it is up and running otherwise you have to pay for a search), and check the three associations we talked about to make sure no one else in CA has something similar.

    Based on our emails I have homework through May: finish the website and join that third association we discussed.

    Good Luck! Let me know how it goes.
