Almost a year has passed doing research, I decided to go the next step.
I found a US based fabric manufacturer to buy most of my materials and contacted them for price quotes.
Got a unique brand name that is available for trademark.
And now, purchased fabrics to make my prototypes.
Once I make my prototypes and purchase my trademark, I will purchase a business lisence.
Since all this is taking so long due to a shoestring budget, my products won't be ready till 2012.
