Choosing the right name for your business or brand can make all the difference between success and failure. Be sure to choose a name that is unique and distinctive, ideally something that consumers have never heard before and that doesn’t immediately describe your product or service.
Your objective in choosing the right name is to think about establishing trademark rights and building a brand name poised for long term success. It may be wise to retain the services of a trademark attorney to assist with a trademark search before you settle on a name so you can ensure it’s available for use and trademark registration. Our law firm offers these services through our dedicated trademark website, www.FlatFeeTrademark.com.
Besides your business name, you must also select the proper corporate entity for your business. This may be a sole proprietorship if you are, for example, a seamstress, consultant or hairstylist. For more risky ventures or if you will go into business with others, you may choose to form a corporation or a limited liability company (LLC). There are several forms of corporate organization available, depending on your business and tax objectives. You may want to talk with a corporate attorney or business law attorney for guidance on which entity is right for you. If you decide to form a corporation or LLC, this is accomplished by filing the appropriate documents and forms with the Division of Corporations in your state.
