Hi Martin, Why would I? In Massachusetts, starting a sole proprietorship in one's own name requires no government registration. You only register anything if you want a fictitious name (a "Doing Business As"). If an individual in Massachusetts wants to register for ARIN resources, they identify themselves to ARIN as "Their Name, Sole Proprietorship." It's that simple. https://www.mass.gov/info-details/starting-a-sole-proprietorship-in-massachusetts Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin [email protected] https://bill.herrin.us/ _______________________________________________ ARIN-PPML You are receiving this message because you are subscribed to the ARIN Public Policy Mailing List ([email protected]).
