Bloomington-Normal Math Tutoring: Gettin' Real

Certain things have got to happen to conduct business in Illinois under a name besides your own. For just $162 I did a couple of those this week.

I had to apply for my business name with the County Clerk ($8 + $1 to notarize) after checking their database to make sure no one else was using that name:

Then I drove to the Pantagraph, which I had to do within 15 days. Once a week for three weeks this masterpiece will be in the paper ($153):

Then I'll receive a certificate of publication, and return that to the Clerk's office within 50 days.

Can paying taxes be far behind?
