I'm forming a LLC. The official name includes the company name + ,LLC. If I advertise without including ",LLC", do I need to register as a ficticious name?

I am looking to open a solarium in my local village and need to do a bit of research. What are overheads like? is insreance really high due to skin cancer etc.

The village in question is very exclusive and the site is right on the main street. there is no real competitors except the local sport centre where the beds are supposedly rubbish.

Do you think it is worth stumping up the cash and taking the risk?

I work for a small construction business. My boyfriend's family owns it and he also works here (he is expected to take it over soon). (He and I have a future planned together). I started in January of this year. I make ok money but need to be making more. Bottom line - I work my as* off for them. I work from 6:30 am to 5 pm M-F. I have taken over almost all of the office responsibilites. I have been expecting to be "promoted" and make more money since when i was hired i was told that i would be assisting my bf running the company one day. Now - they are bringing in a General Manager and being sneaky about it. I feel like I have alot to offer a company - i have a good business sense. Why are they doing this? I basically am the General Manager - so why are they getting someone else to do it after all i have learned and already know? What do I do? I am very upset about this......

I've been debating with the idea of going out on my own - or continuing to work under someone else. My thoughts have leaned towards opening a school supply store, which would carry everything for students/teachers both. I live in a very small town - the only decent store we have is Wal-Mart. I used to be Asst. Mgr of a dollar store here, and alot of the parents/teachers/students would come in complaining because they needed to complete a project, or just needed one more thing off their school list, and Wal-Mart didn't have it. So, they would have to drive 40-60 minutes just to get what they needed. I think this idea would take off in a small town that's centered around its children and education, and it would be helpful to the parents as well. How do I get started? I have NO idea!!

I have been in love with the idea of owning my own bookstore since I was a child. I am always scouting out places that would be sites for a bookstore. I have seen a couple franchise college bookstores around. Would opening my own bookstore be a failure? Would it be more successful if it were college books? Any idea on the success rates of bookstores? I have even been considering giving it it's own spin like a theatre in the back or the sales of media or foods.
