Well this certainly hasn’t been going the way I wanted it to. If you’re just tuning in, I’ve been working on getting the online shop for Coffee & Comics launched. However there have been setbacks at every step of the way.
I filed with the state of Texas back towards the end of JUNE but because of the Fourth of July coming up, my documents were delayed. A week or two later I received my packet of documents that said Coffee & Comics is now a company. Next was to sign the documents and mail them in.
Hell yeah! Right? Wrong.
I received that packet on a Friday, mailed out the needed signatures the very next day on Saturday. Then on Tuesday I RECEIVED ANOTHER PACKET OF DOCUMENTS. The same one I just received the week before.
So what’s going on? Was this a mistake? Was there something wrong with the first one? But the second packet had a misspelling so if the second packet is the correct one then I have a problem with that now.
I reached out to the firm who filed for me again and asked what set of documents I should use? The main point for this all is to get an EIN number, plus tax exempt and a resellers license. Since they’re two different numbers associated with the packets I didn’t want to choose the one that is wrong. Well I didn’t hear from them for about a week. Turns out the entire office got COVID.
That’s where the mixup occurred. With some employees working from home and some in the office, there was miscommunication and my documents were filed twice.
I am currently waiting to hear back on what my next steps should be. In the meantime I’m working on more products to add to the shop, setting up my email campaigns, plus doing some freelancing. Hoping with that I can make a big apparel purchase and screenprint it all to have ready for the fall
