Chase sat before his desk navigating websites on his laptop yet again. This time his fingers moved with unwavering purpose across the keyboard and wireless mouse accessory. Because of the ease and convenience of filing paperwork online, Chase is free to register his business without actually stepping foot in the Secretary of State office. First he locates the LP-1 form to certify a limited partnership company. The partner being his benefactor, his father Marcel Ankers, unfortunate as that was. Still, he expected that would change in time and Marcel likely wouldn't interfere with Chase's control over Ubiquity's direction.

Next he filed a Fictitious Business Name Statement with the City Clerk, thus claiming the name Ubiquity to conduct business under. That was just the beginning too. There were dozens of licenses and permits to obtain. Filing for Property Taxes with County Assessor's Office, the property statement to detail the equipment to be used. A Business License, Fire Prevention License, Land Use Permit, Sales & Use Permit, State Income Tax, Employer Identification Number, the list went on.

He had already entered into negotiations with a particular location for the site. It was a leased office space with an atmospheric conditioned room for servers. It had already been in use for another ISP directly across the street from City Hall. Chase had thrown a considerable amount of money on the location because of the importance of proximity in his setup plan, though it would be some months before they could start laying fiber optics. He might be able to acquire the previous business's clients if he could convince them their startup had a solid plan. He would have to offer discounts as an extra incentive. Beyond that he would target established businesses and convince them of Ubiquity's potential for growth.

Next Chase registered a Trademark with the Secretary of State, filed for Business Taxes with the IRS, and opened a Business Checking Account & Merchant Account with River City Bank. Likely with all of these letters and requests he was sending out into the world would take some time, finalizing the paperwork, but it was all necessary to legitimize his company.

Soon there would be need for employees and hardware. The two most important roles he would need to acquire first would be a Certified Public Accountant and an Attorney. Their roles would be crucial, and their paychecks the most significant. Chase posted these listings on several local employment websites, specifying late hours. He wanted contact with these individuals as often as possible and his nightly schedule would likely come into play constantly as an obstacle in the company's growth. Eventually he would need a Chief Technology Officer to manage the company underneath him. Finding someone he could trust would likely take some time.

Finally he would have to acquire the hardware needed to make the company a functional one. Amazingly a great deal of ISP hardware was available for purchases online, both new and used. He would spare no expense, but he would only be able to support a limited customer base without going over his budget. That was fine for now, it was within the perimeters of his plans.

The night dwindled on, Chase searching and clicking through the documents and orders, pulling the strings over the very network he hoped to tame.
