Can anybody tell me where I need to go to put the name of the family daycare business I'm starting on the books? I'm looking for this to be a "my name t/a business name". Any help is appreciated.

You may need an attorney - or your accountant, to file the necessary paperwork for you. You have to file with the State not the town in which your business will be located. I can send you a couple of referrals if you would like?

You record the DBA at the county clerk's office in New Brunswick. I believe they're on Bernard (sp?) Street.

Are you sure you want to have a daycare business that's just a sole proprietorship, though? If you ever get sued for anything, someone's going to end up owning your house and everything else you own. As sue-happy as people are, I'd want the protection of an LCC or corporation- especially when you're dealing with something as sensitive as people's kids.

I agree with Bob - LLC is the way to go. You can now file as a single owner under LLC if I'm not mistaken.

No, I'm not sure. I'm still going through the registration process for the state and am aniticipating the pros and cons of my options are going to be discussed at the mandatory orientation sessions next month. Thank you for the heads up.
