Register with whom? I never heard of that, most banks will allow you to open a business account as long as you have a EIN and your state license? Was this a small bank?

I had brought my vendors lic. , but the lady said that that only proves I pay taxes and that I had never "registered" my business name in Ohio ! WTH is this!? I asked her why I would register my name after 20 years of doing nails under this name. She gave me an example of a bank client who didn't register his name, ex. Ohio Carpet Cleaning, and when a competitor opened a business under the same name and REGISTERED it with Ohio, the original business owner had to CHANGE his business name, repaint his signs, his trucks, re-do his business cards, etc. Of course, there is a $50 fee to "register" your business name with Ohio! This is all news to me, what do ya'll think? When I register, is it going to bring an avalanche of paperwork down on me? What changes besides the fact that no one else can use your name?
