Permit Information Trade Name Registration The name of a business or product, a label, logo, or form of advertisement are some examples of items that may be registered with the Department of Financial Institutions. The registration is not required, but is a good way to notify the public of the use of a certain name or mark. The filing fee is $15, and the registration remains on record for 10 years. A registration may be “assigned” to another party during the 10 year period, and may be renewed before the 10 year time period has expired.

I have spent most of my business life in Tomah without taking advantage of the huge resource that it offers. I am so pleased to now be a part of an organization that is so organized and well connected to the business community. My advice to any business in Tomah would be that the dues for belonging to the Chamber of Commerce in Tomah, is a small price to pay for the interaction with other members which reaches far beyond the Tomah horizon. Opportunities are boundless and I expect we will see significant growth in our business largely due to your efforts. ” I look forward to our success together. - Steve Walker, Walker Construction Greater Area Tomah Chamber of Commerce Page | 25
