@Jonah Parker, I believe it is legal without a business, but this is a great question I hope someone who really knows answers it for you, please let me know if they do!

@Michael Breisch, 

This is helpful, thank you! Do you have any clue of what the equivalent to Secretary of State is in Alberta Canada? Otherwise, the domain, Facebook, and google search all seem to say I have a unique name!

Many thanks

@Huong Luu, Thank you for this advice! I think I will hold off on starting a company until I have done a few wholesale deals like you recommend. I have never heard of a 3-tier company I will definitely look into that. Mostly I am worried about sending out mail pieces and putting a name on my website that is already used, do you recommend using a lawyer to make sure this is not the case, or going a different rout?

Hey Paul, 

If you don't mind me asking, what draws you to Baltimore? I am actually from Baltimore but looking to invest in Calgary so I thought it was kind of ironic. Baltimore has changed a lot while Ive been here and I seem to meet lots of investors interested in the area, I just don't really see the draw when the city is very small and always losing population. Regardless, I hope it turns into a great opportunity for you, if I can be of any help let me know. I would focus your attention near Towson or central downtown, these areas are being gentrified while the rest of the city seems to be abandoned, of course Tim probably has better knowledge and advice than me though!

Awesome, thanks Mike!

Thank you, @Jason Hackett and @David M. there are two sources I have never seen before, I will check them out now!

Thank a lot Joanne, I will check that out right now!

I am trying to make a logo for my business, nothing very complicated, mostly I just need to be able to assemble some basic shapes and do recoloring. I was wondering if anyone could recommend some software that is helpful, or maybe a company that can take images drawn and transform them into computer images. I never realized how hard it could be to design things on the computer. Any help is very appreciated!

Wow thank you all so much, this information is very helpful!

I want to start a wholesaling campaign and say, "hello, this is Harrison with XYZ wholesaling," but I want to make sure I pick a name that is unique so I don't copy anyone and also so I can make a reputation for my business. Can anyone tell me how to see if a chosen name is unique? Many thanks in advance!
