Default running a business as an artist

But, the banks do care!!

If a check is written to the business name, most banks will not accept it for
deposit into a personal account. If the account is in the business name, then
it will accept both because you will be the signature to that account.

Whoever handles business accounts at the bank can give you a copy of the form
to send to the Secretary of State, with a fee (usually $25 to $50), for
application to register the business name. Besides being a legal requirement
for doing business, it will protect you from the possibility of future
conflicts that could occur if you were using the same name as another business
in your state.
