Answer Options
A
workers comp audit ownership review memo
B
business-name filing
C
final lien release office launch checklist
D
owner punchlist bonding support file

Why This Is the Correct Answer

A contractor should verify and document the business or fictitious name before using it in contracts and public-facing records.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option A: workers comp audit ownership review memo

workers comp audit ownership review memo belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the business name setup event.

Option C: final lien release office launch checklist

final lien release office launch checklist belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the business name setup event.

Option D: owner punchlist bonding support file

owner punchlist bonding support file belongs to a different file or record trail; it does not prove the business name setup event.

Memory Technique

A record works only when it proves the exact verify event for Office Manager.

Reference Hint

Open-book path: tab Contractor's Manual, 2025 to Business startup records; fictitious-name and entity-name setup; verify the startup duty, registration, or financial setup before answering.
