Creative help wanted

going to apply for my permit to sell/exhibit class 3 wildlife, The fist question on the form is the hardest. Name. Name?Name? what? I ve gotta come up with a nae for the world to know me by, oh crap. What to do? Idon't want a lame name David Tessaro Reptiles is not on the list. Daves Balls, or Daves got herps are also out. I can think f a bunch of names I dont want and few or none I do want. So I looking for suggestions. Cretaceous Creatures is one I came up with,I know I said not lame, but its the best I can do. My wife said what does cretaceous mean, I had to explain. She says the common person wont know what it relates to, or how to spell it, I need something catchy that easy to remember.

Thanks,
D

Only fill out personal part and leave the buisness part blank if you don't have one already. It goes mainly by your address.

Are you sure it clearly states that Corporations or fictitious names must be registered.

I have sent an email to FWC to ask them what they want, I would hate to get my permit, only to have to get a new one with the business name on it. In the meantime Im going to move forward on the busniess Lisc. portion, for that I will need a name.

I called fwc about it for snakehooked when she was doing it last week. They told me if it was just a person not to worry about it. If you want I can call them again Monday.

That makes sense, if I were just a person, but I want a legit business, personal free permit yes, I can see just your own name, but I think they want the business name cuz if someone calls in a complaint on WTexotics FWC wont know who that is if the owner only put their personal name on the permit. this premit asks for business name and owner/contact name. The no cost premit only asks for your name.

here is a link to sell\exhibit app.

you may be refering to the critical incedent disaster plan, that must be filled out to obtain both types of permits, there is a place for a business name and if you were getting a no-cost personal permit you would leave it blank. She did tell me it was the no-cost permit she is getting, where is she tonight anyway, she is usually on by now?

All you have to do is put your name on the permit and if and when you come up with a business name
you can update the info with FWC. If they give you any grief over it which I doubt then just sell under your
name and when you renew the next year change the information then.
FWC also wants you to continually update them on the number and types of animals you have which most
people just do the one time of year when you have to list what you have on the permit renewal.

ok I printed to info for my business Lisc. in duval county, I have to go downtown to get that, it also states that fictious names must be registered, where and how and with who do I do that. Ive gotta do more research.

This just in I'm being told sunbiz.org we will see.

Ferst phrased it better then I do. Just put your name and woory about buss name later when you get it.

I think I'm understanding the process better now

Step 1 register fictious name at sunbiz.org pay 50$
Step 2 obtain permits, in this case class 3 exhibit/sell 50$
step 3 obtain county Lisc. 75$???

somewhere in there I need to get a fed id number, too I think

In Duval County I believe you should check into a Peddlers License since to get a regular business license in Duval Cty. They want you to go to the zoning board and get proof that you can run a business out of your home which is difficult to get depending on who you talk to at the zoning and planning department. The peddlers license also allows for selling anywhere in
the county which the standard business license really doesn't. Also to top it all off if they havn't changed things the peddlers license is less expensive. And if you are getting your class 3 permit make sure that you don't want to get the ROC permit because I believe that if you get them at the same time it is $100 total versus $150 if done separately.

Those are different permits. ROC and VR permits can be put together.

ok I know i'll be violating my rules what about First Coast Reptile Supply?

There is a First Coast Everything. I like a name different from everyone but still easy to remember.

I know but cant come up with anything else, This is really hard

Just start thinking of things you like and then trying to twist it into a name. The shop's came from one of my favorite books as a kid. Ok ok it is still one of them.

I think the reason people use thier name and reptiles like Joe momma reptiles, is cuz it doesn't have to br registered as a fictious name, it's 50 to register and 80 to run it in the newspaper, a requirent. I have to make acall to verify this but I think that's how it works

WhopperSnakes!

WhopperBalls.

Ive got some.

Or should that be Jr. WhopperBalls.

Oooo, burn. You gonna take that from him?

doesnt even deserve a response, Ill take the high road on that one, wife called the state today, if you use your first and last name you dont have to register it.so looks like Christopher Tessaro Reptiles it is.

CT Reptiles. Not the worse I've heard.
