When establishing a new startup 156 miles away from existing business. Do You.....?
1) Use same name or new identity?
2) Get local numbers or a 1-800 # Since i will be answering calls from houston, and use the same name as existing business.
You see, the new startup is going to be an all out "push" from day one. It will be commercial only. Oil companies are calling as far as houston (156 miles) and ***** (130 miles) just to get power washers to come clean equipment. I approached one of the oil companies this weekend, and he agreed to sign a contract the day the new startup is established. I told him i would have a crew on by June 15th, and another there by the end of the month. We agreed on a minimum hour/week guarantee and a minimum per hour rate per crew. That is one of 4 oil/gas companies that are actively drilling in this county.
So should i tie this new startup in with same company or should i start a new company and inc. it also?
