Doing iBusiness with MyCorp’s Very Own App!

Happy New Year everyone!

As everyone recovers and begins to remember those resolutions they listed before they went out to celebrate New Year’s Eve, we thought it would be a good idea to help you all with something we’re sure is on a few lists; starting your small business.

Most people tend to put this particular resolution off, seeing it as a daunting behemoth of a task. Sure, you could go online and trudge through all of the research that goes in to starting a business and incorporating, but you’re stuck on that one level of Angry Birds and getting past that seems like it would be a lot more enjoyable.

But Angry Birds, while fun, isn’t quite as life changing or rewarding as founding your own company. So to help out those of you who have been putting off incorporation, we have distilled all of the information you need into an iPod/iPad application!

And it isn’t just for incorporations; you can conduct a trademark search, get information on copyright registrations and name checks, and easily access much of the information hosting on the MyCorporation website.

Our App team has made starting a business (nearly) as easy as rocketing a red bird into a pyramid of green pigs.

Best of all, our app is entirely free.

Head to the iTunes app store, download our application, and get started!

*Only available for download on the iPhone and iPad. We’re working on an Android version for later this year- stay tuned!

Happy Customer Appreciation Day!

Monday, December 19th, 2011

It has been an absolutely amazing year at MyCorporation; we’ve seen hundreds of our customers start following us on Facebook and Twitter, we won a Stevie Award, and as always, we are absolutely amazed at how many small businesses get their official start right here with us.

And, of course, none of this would ever have been possible without our customers.

As an a thank you to all of our customers, we are giving away free Employer Identification Numbers with every incorporation. Any business that wants to open a bank account, hire employees or incorporate has to have an EIN.

Normally an Employer Identification Number costs $69.00, but choose any of our incorporation packages and we will obtain an EIN on behalf of your new business for free as our way of saying thanks for choosing MyCorporation.

All of our customers have made this year outstanding, and we can’t even begin to articulate how thankful we are for everyone who has contacted us for help with their business. We wish you all the best of luck with your business ventures, and hope everyone has a happy holiday season!

Press Time…

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

New businesses may have a hard time getting new customers because they don’t always have extensive marketing dollars. A press release is a great way to get customers to take notice without having to spend an exorbitant amount of money on marketing.

In terms of marketing, a press release is a story that may interest the general public or a market segment relating to your business or organization. The purpose of a press release is to inform the world of your news item. A press release is not supposed to be to “make a sale” per se. Instead, you should answer the “W” questions (who, what, where, when and why), providing the media with useful information about your organization, product, service or event.

The format of a press release tends to be more objective than promotional and is sometimes in interview format (but marketing hype is typically not well received by media outlets). A press release is submitted to media distribution outlets in the hopes that they will run with the story and/or request an interview.

Among the many methods for advertising your products or services, a press release can be an inexpensive tool. Happy writing!

Business Highlight: Journey 4 Life Fitness

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Our chance to share our customers with you…

Journey 4 Life was started from an idea years and years ago. The owner, Dennis Anderson, always wanted to do something to make a change in the world. He always took good care of himself through exercise. It wasn’t until 5 years ago or so that he really decided to turn this dream into a reality. People started approaching him in the gym and even outside of it asking questions about fitness and how he could help them out. It was at that time he realized this was his calling and the business was created. Mr. Anderson, CEO of Journey 4 Life Fitness, says “Thanks to the wonderful customer service from Tracy Newman my company was set up properly and very fast. I was truly surprised by how quickly everything was set up. It was refreshing to have someone on the other end of the phone who catered to all the needs of me as a customer. Despite my lack of knowledge with setting up my business Tracy was very professional and patiently guided me through the process. My experience

with My Corporation was incredible and I’d be the first to recommend them.”
When asked about the impact on the economy, Mr. Anderson said, “This economy is a set back with any business out there now but for me it doesn’t set us back too much. The demand for my service is huge. Health is now being taken seriously and people actually want to change their lifestyles. My business has just been set up and is in the beginning stages but it’s doing well thus far. ”
Mr. Anderson went on to say, “I made my business successful by challenging others to change the way they think. By motivating and inspiring others to believe that anything is possible. I also spent time understanding and studying fitness. Fitness has been a huge part of my life. I found that changing the thought process and having the physical will is the formula for transformation. With each life that is changed by journey 4 life fitness success shows up.”

Business tip:  My biggest tip I can give is to stay passionate and do something you love, persevere, and stay driven to complete what you start.
