...yeah. Uh huh. Because you appended "Inc." at the end of your company name. I'll concur: ridiculous post.

Well... You might consider it ridiculous, but this is just because you have another background.

Before we incorporate, we get regular reuests like "what a hell you are? I cannot find 'Mybluewidgets' in the database of registered companies: are you fraudsters or what?"

In our market, it is pretty common practice to check out company's identity against publicly available state-owned database of registered companies.

They checked it; found nothing; went away.

When we incorporated, situation changed immediately.

In addition, many of our clients [now] are busineses and state organizations, who did not want to deal with individual sellers, either.
