Default Quick! I need a high five...

Just signed the documents officially incorporating my company! Almost a year of stress and hard work are finally coming together and we are hitting the ground running!

Feels good!

Just needed to share/vent!

Hi five! Good job! As a small Business owner, incorporated, I sure know how you feel. Sit back and celebrate. Then the hard work begins...

Good deal I just hope if you have any partner's that you have a rock solid shareholders agreement and have checked them out full so they don't screw you over like mine did. NEVER NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN will I have a partner in a company. Went from doing 1/2 a mill a year to almost losing my acreage and every thing else I own.

Good Luck it is a tough go for some but if you work hard at it you will do well. I have started over again from scratch and it has not been easy.

We're excited to see where this goes!

Tell me about it. I have 3 partners! But they're all good guys and we have a pretty solid share structure for ourselves. We've heard some bad horror stories from people. Not good!

I'm more worried about investors than the partners!

I thought my partner was a good guy to. He put in $20k to get the company started and I did all the work made all the money to buy all the equipment we had $300K worth just for him to steal all of it by threat's and force.

Investor's can be trick for sure. I need one of them right now myself but don't trust anyone anymore.

Can you give a little insight to what the company will be doing?
