A quick definition of incorporation:

Definition: Incorporation is when a group of people want to start a business and make it official by filling out some paperwork. They have to send this paperwork to a special office called the Secretary of State. Once the paperwork is approved, the business becomes a legal entity and can start operating.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Incorporation is the legal process of creating a corporation. This means that a group of people, called shareholders, file an application and some paperwork with the government to create a new business entity.

For example, let's say that three friends want to start a business selling handmade soap. They decide to incorporate their business, which means they have to file some paperwork with the government. This paperwork includes something called the Articles of Incorporation, which is a legal document that outlines the basic details of the new corporation, such as its name, address, and purpose.

Once the government approves the application and the Articles of Incorporation, the new corporation is officially created. This means that the business is now a separate legal entity from its owners, and it can do things like sign contracts, own property, and sue or be sued in court.

It's cus i network well. I was in Citrin over in Santa Monica having dinner when this couple walked in and they were Icelandic and I had that Nordic connection to them so we chatted it up and then the Sommelier there was a long time friend of my family's and I found out these guys were like celebrity architects and I was all oh, I know this chick who is an architect who has like 1M tiktok followers and needs to rebrand and they were all oh, cool we would love to meet and hire her after learning she went to UCLA but then she just was like nah, I feel like failing for the next 6 months.

I give creatively inclined people a little more leeway with their behavior bc at least they’re interesting. I hate when someone is boring

Maybe. I wish they knew how to channel their creativity better. I feel I am a creative person too but I feel I know how to channel it into the drinks I make. She had some autistic savant gifts. Could draw/paint the most amazing shit.

This is like the most artsy restaurant I have ever been to. It was a total rip off but I will never have an experience like that again for at least a year.

hey all I think I must have asked this question here almost thrice and forgot to check but how do I see the stats to figure out if someone who applied in mid october to NYU but missed both waves so far still has a chance of getting in?
