We are in the process of creating our business plan for an online business selling various items (related to candles). However, we are unsure of the legal processes that we need to take to get this started. Does anyone have any recommended websites or books that will tell us what we need to do? We are concerned about things such as Trademarking our company name, getting a tax ID, etc... Another question related to this is if we sell scented candles that are using another companies trademarked scent, do we need to create our own unique name or can we do something such as "Warm Vanilla Sugar by Bath and Body Works" Any information about the steps that are required to cover our selves legally would be greatly appreciated. Thank You
