Hello all,
I am about to graduate from college next month and will be looking for work as a freelancer in the lighting field; primarily wanting to design. To keep track of expenses related to work and money I make, I thought about starting a business such as a sole proprietorship or LLC.
The issue I'm having is creating a name for it. I have heard multiple opinions on the topic. Some say I should use my own name and some say I should come up with a unique company name. I don't want to scare off potential employers by presenting them with my company name instead of them hiring me as an individual.
My second question would then be, should I even start a business? Just separating personal and business expenses and income.
Thank you for your time and help!
