Bend, Ore. – Three entrepreneurs struck while the iron was hot—or, more accurately, while the ice was accumulating—last month and registered new Bend businesses apparently focused on snow and ice removal, according to the first monthly Bend Entrepreneur Report, released by Bend’s business attorneys at EagerLaw PC.
EagerLaw PC sifted through the Oregon Secretary of State’s Oregon business data for January to create the Bend Entrepreneur Report. Their findings include the following:
• There were 325 new business registrations in Bend during January 2017.
• Of those, 155, or about 48%, were registered as Domestic Limited Liability Companies (LLCs), while 121, or about 37%, were registered as Assumed Business Names (ABNs). 30, or about 9%, were registered as Domestic Business Corporations (corporations).
• The remaining 19 new business registrations were divided between Domestic Nonprofit Corporations, Foreign Business Corporations, Foreign LLCs, Foreign Limited Partnerships, Domestic Limited Partnerships, and Domestic Professional Corporations (PCs).
The impact of Bend’s harsh winter and expanding construction industry is evident in the January registrations. Along with the three new business registrations apparently inspired by Old Man Winter, eight January business registrations appeared to join Bend’s busy construction scene, while four new cleaning businesses were registered. The design industry in Bend appears to be on the rise, with 11 new design-related business entity names registered last month.
