The Usefulness of Fictitious Business Names

idea
Date: 2013-08-25

What:

Reconcile fictitious name statements with business licenses.

Does it make sense to include Fictitious as an attribute of a Business license since one may not be exclusive of the other?

How?

Business licenses, sole proprietors not with a personal name. The filed names should be at Solano County.

Issues: enforcing this is difficult, costly, and not of much value. It seems like a feasible opportunity to look into streamlining.

Tips go directly to a Bitcoin SV address I control — peer to peer, no platform in between. A few thousand satoshis is a fraction of a cent; it's the gesture that counts.

From any BSV wallet

Scan the QR code with your wallet's camera, or copy the address.
