Help!!! Lost my job and now Trying not to break the law.

[Rito Altamirano]

hello b.p well heres the deal ive been learning and reading on here for 2 years slowly but surely becoming one of those that just read and never do anything to chase the dream! I loved the idea of flipping and wholesaling. after 2 leads  i got hunting from craigslist turned out to be tirekickers i gave up and fell off. 

Well fast forward 1.5 years to 2 weeks ago. i had a big Pre CES show SAMSUNG meeting with my district manager. Turns out right after CES  im getting laid off and taking a 3 month severance pay or becoming a part time employee until they can relocate me.... yea im not ok with neither. Just lost benefits and 50k a year. Sure i was depressed for 2 days but then i realized something i spent the last 2 years learning how to make money doing something i seriously like and i never want to go back to a day job again. Plus why make 50k in a year when its possible to make 50k in a good month!!! I instantly snapped and bought a 700lead mailing list (not much but a start) and posted multiple c.l ads. Now the lines have been blowing up and ive had multiple leads now! still no deal but im getting closer and closer and getting a lot better on the phone!!! 

I feel as though im applying everything i learned and waiting 2 years of educating myself through all of you was well worth the wait before jumping in. 

NOW PLEASE HELP ME NOT BREAK THE LAW. 

How do i represent myself? 

Ive read about llc and all that however i know as an wholeseller especially new i dont really have much to protect and this isnt much of a neccessity for me. 

But my concern is, is it ILLEGAL to give my self a company name for putting on business card purposes , flyers, yellowletters , bandit signs etc. 

Also when i send emails this name will be used on my gmail address as well. 

This became a concern for me because one of my strong leads and probably the closest thing i had to a deal yet asked me, "what is your business name and are you guys located in the las vegas area?". So i told him the name i have for my biz and its also the name for my gmail. i plan on putting on cards and such as well. 

My concern is if he looks up the name their is no llc or corp for that name. So by using a name and representing myself with that name am i breaking the law? When it comes to contract agreements i will not be putting business name but my personal information.

Again if i am breaking the law please stop me and correct me before the law does! 

Other then this issue i think im so far so good on my mission to completing my first deal. 

 Hope the best for me and all of you in 2017!!

Cut the BS.  It's okay to tell someone it's your first deal.  You can do a transaction in your own name.  The "fake it till you make it" strategy is fine for your own psychology, but not when your are talking to someone about yourself.  Just be honest, and things will happen for you.
