Benefits of registering as a business

[mickyc]

If your business name is just your name then daycare you don't need to register. I call my daycare something else so I have it registered. I had a lady once copy my add almost word for word and then try to name her daycare something extremely similar to mine. I contacted her and asked if her name was registered as it is too similar to mine and likely would not be allowed (I worked in the legal field and knew there was no way it would be approved). She ended up deleting her whole add. In MB I paid $75 then renew it every 3 years.
