Some people when they do IM don't bother registering an actual business. In fact I can tell a lot of my competition on Etsy just comes up with a random name and pretends it's a registered company.

I registered my company as an LLC because of the extra legal protections but that got me thinking: did any of you skip registering a business?
 
Yeah, I skipped register a company, that said, I always invoice from a company though not mine. Better keep that taxman away and pay your taxes after deductions ofcourse.
 
In India we say GUMASTA.. a word for company registration. So it's being easy to file a tax and get other documents for your employees.
 
In Israel you must open a business if you want to get paid as a non-employee, so yeah..
 
I skipped it. It's not necessary where I'm from and you can just do business as yourself even under a different name to look like a company.

Ok, so what country do you live in? I know we can do that to here in my country but we need tp register for a VAT number as VAT is a must mostly here.
