After viewing the suggestions here and on fb for names for my super-exciting tutoring business, I finally settled on a perfect one!

On-Track Tutoring: Individualized Academic Support.

Awesome!

Then I did a google search for On-Track Tutoring aaaaand…

Taken! In ARIZONA.

Dammit AZ, what is your DEAL??

So I am back to the drawing board on the name…definitely keeping the Individualized Academic Support though. Maybe I should just call the business that. IAS is the acronym for about 9 million things, so I could add one more without too much problem.

But I want something catchy, approachable and functional-sounding.

Also, when I do file my fictitious name, look at this nonsense: 

Publishing a fictitious name in the local paper: $25

Filing said name through paper: $10

Filing name in county clerk’s office (apparently I have to do both): $37

Application for Business License fee: $35

Processing fee for application: $50

I realize this is nor exorbitant, but really…this is all BEFORE I’m supposed to be making money.
