Red Tape!

***Wow, the hoops they make you jump through to get a business going! We are making Halo Handmade a subsidiary of our S-corp, Meditran Transcription Inc., and boy is there a lot of stuff to consider! Spent an hour at the bank today getting the new account set up, it's not just a matter of opening an account. They have to have the articles of incorporation, 100 signed documents (or so it seemed), the federal ID number from Meditran, and several other forms I can't even remember the names of. Now I'm working on getting Halo registered with the State of Indiana in order to charge sales tax. That's not a simple thing either! <g> Oh well....we will muddle through and do it right.

It is really coming together, the building looks SO much better than it did when we started.  Talked to the lady at SignGrafx this morning and we should have our sign up this week. P

Long Time!

We will rent booths to different crafters and sell new, locally handmade goods. The name of the store will be Halo, for Handmade and Local. Clever, huh? We have been keeping very busy working on the building, it is very old and needed a lot of cleaning and sprucing up. It's coming along very nicely, though. We're hoping for a May 1 opening date. ***I was so disappointed in Donald Trump yesterday when he signed that bloated spending bill. I think the Democrats r
