Incorporating
Apr 10th, 2007 by Shaun Carter
I just received my incorporation papers for my new business venture yesterday. I decided that I wanted to have a corporate umbrella over my Internet endeavors as well as some other business activities I am involved in. Thus I filed for and was approved by the State of Michigan to form Blue Horseshoe Ventures Inc. a Subchapter “S” corporation.
I chose the name Blue Horseshoe from the reference “Blue Horseshoe loves Anacot Steel” from the movie Wall Street starring Charlie Sheen and Michael Douglas. My fascination with Wall Street paid off in providing a largely unused name to operate under and one that has some meaning to it. It’s interesting to look at some of the corporate names out there that had a very limited or unknown meaning before becoming famous, such as Google, Microsoft (combining “Micro computer software”), Pepsi, and others that created brand recognition from thin air.
I will be chronicling the process I followed in setting up my corporation to provide a reference for others wishing to incorporate for themselves as well.
