Fill out DBA form | unassigned | 2009-07-31 | We need to fill out a "doing business as" form so that we can legally use the name "Hive13" on our paperwork, bank account, etc. http://www.sos.state.oh.us/SOS/businessServices/Filing%20Forms%20%20Fee%20Schedule/534a.aspx | |

Get an insurance agent | in progress | Dave | 2009-07-01 | Dave is in contact with an insurance person, but this person is slow to respond. Pursuing other courses of action is welcome. We need to have renter's and/or liability coverage since it's required by our lease (and since it's a good idea). |

Records Book | in progress | Dave | 2009-07-01 | We need an official repository for our legal documents as required by law. I have a binder that is serving this purpose currently.
