Legal Question in Business Law in Alaska

If you have actual possession of the business premises, inventory, etc., there is nothing to stop you from actually operating the business. Make sure you have a business license, and all required permits, etc. Without knowing exactly what sort of business it is, I cannot be sure that all your bases are covered, so you should of course check with your attorney about the details. You should probably be sure to use some way to advise your customers who they are dealing with: use receipts, etc. with your new business name on it, for example.
