    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    @McGyverS2000 - I do run a small business in addition to farriseng.com called RoyalBlue web design. It was actually my first business started 5 years ago while in school. I was using one source to cross advertise the other which I already have known to make it look unprofessional. It was...

    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    I think the overall scope of the post has been lost, so I'll try to recap and summarize hopefully: "1. Can I market myself as an engineering design company if I am only an EIT and no one on my payroll is a licensed PE/SE but I have lets say "partners" that can sign and seal for me." This has...

    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    @Terratek - You are correct, a certificate of authorization from the board is required for work as an engineer in my state as well as PE license of course. In reference to the site, the wording was poorly chosen as writing up this content was unfortunately quick; a means of giving my potential...

I would like to expand this work and pick up more clients but am not quite sure how feasible this is and...

    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    @structSU10 yes that is my site which is mainly why I was asking. I want to make sure to correct if if needed. Most likely I will be registering a new domain name (considering farrisdesign.com or something similar) until I receive my PE. Will migrate over the information to the new domain and...

    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    Thanks everyone for the responses, and that's good information to know about the CA @Ron. I am actually a W2 employee with one of the PE's that signs for me (strictly for Liability insurance purposes) but I suppose if I were to use his certificate of authorization from his company, any marketing...

    New "Structural" startup with a few questions

    So I recently moved to a new city (no connections or known network of individuals) and have been having a real hard time landing a full time job. So in the meantime, I've put together a drafting and design business. I should note that I am an EIT with roughly 4 years in the residential design...
