It happens that a few months ago I open my new small business. Weddings cinematography. However I dont have any reels to show. Not yet. I need a website to make my business known to everybody but since I have no reels thats not possible. What am I going to show? On the other hand I have to make the stationary,which I dont think is time to do since I dont have a web page to include in cards and papers. In order to get the trademark starting is important to start showing the IRS that there is business. Moreover there is the risk that other company can take the name I already created. Thats why even having a business I dont dare to say the name.No reels, no website, no trademark, no business.Even having one. What can I do?

Try Trademarking your name.
If you are afraid to announce your business name, you certainly are not going to get very far.

You can apply for a business license in your state. You don't have to show that you already have business to get the license. This will protect your name in that state. You don't need a trademark, just a business name.
Do you have any samples of your work? I don't know much about cinematography but I'm thinking that you want to make wedding videotapes. Are you going to offer packages? Like - package A gets certain services, package B gets more, and so on. You could just list your packages.
Remember, not every client will be comfortable with their wedding video on the web, and people know this. You could even give examples of cinematography using other subjects, and put a note on the site that you don't show videos of clients because you respect the privacy of their special day which is only shared with family and friends.

Sweetheart, Get a business liecence. Buy your domain name for 1.99 on Yahoo. Also on Yahoo they have websites for free. To be able to upload and design what you want cost about 29.00 a month. Upload and put your business out there. Make your own logo I did and who cares if someone else uses my logo else where. The important issue here is to get your small business up and running. You have nothing but fear its self to fear.
Getting the doors open to make money is whats important. The adverage person that visits your sites are not going to be trying to copy you but will be looking to do business with you . Take the leap there is nothing but opportunity from there on out and what is not handled will get handled as time progresses.
I am an online florist, wedding planner ect.. and Id be very intrested in seeing your site. But I cant do business with someone that isnt here on the net.

It seems you need to photograph or tape a wedding so you can get your website. Also, nobody is going to hire you if you don't have any work to show them. You should offer your services for free to a friend or relative. If you don't know anyone who's getting married, you might want to ask for referrals from a wedding planner or a church that does a lot of weddings so you can find a wedding that you can volunteer to record. Then you will have the "reels" you need to get your business going.
