I am keeping pretty busy with school and doing wiring harnesses. I have decided to start my own company within the year I will for it as a LLC and when I finish school I will steadily grow my business. I will be thinning harnesses for mots GM engines and will grow doing Ford and Mopar as well.
Here is the new Facebook Page with in the month I will create a real web page .

Good luck!
A friendly suggestion - you need to very carefully review your grammar (punctuation etc) on anything and everything you put out in public, especially webpages and FB. It's unfortunate... but that affects how people interpret you as a businessman and what they assume about how your company operates. Attention to detail is key.
 
Good luck!

Forming an LLC in NC is uber easy. Dont pay some "guru" $500 for an LLC it should cost you $50 and you can do it yourself.

if you get interested down the road I have a high end brady wire label maker that would allow you to do the labels with cute printed tags nd have 4-5 wraps of clear plastic over the writing...
 
An LLC is definitely the way to go. It will cost more up front, but if someone buys a harness from you and puts it in their $100,000 hot rod and a wire shorts out and burns it up, you'd be on the hook personally for all the damages without an LLC.

I'd suggest when you get up and running to get a vendor booth at hot rod and car shows. It will be hard to compete with the marketing dollars that Painless can throw out, but hot rod guys like a good quality product that is locally made by a guy who takes pride in his work. Your marketing will be key as well. A good, informative website will only be as good if people know about it and seek it out. www.wildmancustomharnesses.com is available and I'd suggest securing it or whatever URL you decide on, even if it's just to "park" the domain. There are so many changes to Search Engine Optimization happening all the time, it's hard to tell which approach is best, but having an "older" domain always seems to help in searches. When you get your site built, put your URL on anything you can.

As was stated, be cautious when posting to Facebook. It is the "face" of your company and what you write there, good or bad will reflect.
 
I'll probably get you to build a harness for my S10 swap whenever I get around to it.
