Hi everyone,

I am in the process of starting an online business. I have never started a business before. I live in the US. My plan is to register the business in my home state. I don't have any customers/clients yet. I will be cold c alling/emailing people in order to get customers/clients (all over the US). I have two questions:
1-Is it better to use fictitious name instead of my real name when first cold calling/emailing people? The reason for that is, that I don't want to be blacklisted.
2-Is it sufficient to register my business only in my own state of residence? Or do I have to register my business in all 50 states?

Thanks in advance.
