The IRS will issue you a FEIN either as a sole proprietorship, corporation, LLC or LLP. They don't care what name you use.

Years ago I started a Mail Order business. In my research I found this bit information. In choosing a Business Name best to use some other name than your own, for the purpose of reputation. If you do something to spoil your reputation it does not harm your business or vice verse.

What is the purpose of having your name on the door?

remember when you were just a toddler & people would ask ..how old are you ? & instead of tellinghow old you were, you would hold up a bunch of fingers? well when someone asks you your name.. you just point to the name on the door. :lol:

I put a big red ribbon on mine so I can find it faster. :wink:

When you are old your memory goes so might not remember the ribbon color, or the color of the truck. :sad: I can always check drivers license for name.
