Miles of Paperwork

I am in the process of finishing samples for head of operations, as well as the patterns. Meanwhile, she is getting pages of my business plan out of the way. I’ve been in contact with manufacturers in China for pricing information to see if I can start ordering from them instead of starting in Los Angeles for manufacturing then moving it off-shore.

I sent-off the second round of proofs for editing. The icon is being perfected with each passing day. I have all paperwork set aside like: Business Tax Certificate, Seller’s Permit Application, and of course, a Fictitious Business Name Statement. However, I need to secure my trademark first (next Wednesday) before I can fill-out the others then go to the bank and open a business checking account. I am aiming for this all to be complete by Friday.

Speaking of Friday, before I enjoy a beautiful day out (for the first time in as long as I can remember), I will be in downtown checking out certain fabric stores and hopefully leaving with swatches of great, great stuff.

The progress continues as LA Textile Show nears at the end of the month!
