    You could always incorporate your "company" using your own name plus an explanitory line like "amanda hayden design" could be yoru company but you wouldn't have to by any means advertise it ast that, it could just be amandahayden....so you could have your checks payable to amanda hayden design or amandahayden.com if you want...if you incorporate then your company is a seprate entity from you...which means if you die your company does not...it's a bit more complex then that but it has maaaany advantages. if it goes bankrupt....you don't...same thing goes for law suits. not saying that you would or anything, but it's something to think about also.

    And of course you don't HAVE to incorporate at all, you could be a sole proprietor or a partner in a partnership...but then you need someone else on board and that kinda sucks.

    Anyway, I fully agree with SportyThief on that you should let your work do the talking first...then the name. Your client WILL find out your a one-woman show either way...might as well present yourself that way straigh of. That way nothing needs sorting out.

    Hope that helps in any way.
    Cheers.
