Howdy Mel:
Is this a problem? Sounds like a pretty bright entrepreneurial idea to
me. There are a lot of people out there who are running a successful
web business based on the same kind of subterfuge. There is nothing
illegal about attempting to generate a public image of your company by
making it out to be a much larger enterprise than it really is. As
long as you do not falsely advertise your products, and as long as you
are fair in your business dealings with your customers, you might do quite
well. Just be careful not to tell the tax man that you are one of the
really fat cats!
