Tips from November 6, 2009
The Small Business tips today discuss naming a start up business.
- Think of a creative and
recognizable name for your business. Be memorable, quirky, and unique,
yet professional for business purposes.
- Before settling on a business name check your phone books, online domains & with the county clerk's office for availability.
- Consider
a business name that's obvious to your business purpose and works in
your favor for SEO as well. It often helps the customer if a name is
self-explanatory. A name like Kim's Social Media Services tells me
right away that this is a social media servicing company by Kim.
- Register the business name as a trademark with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office. You get legal protection for the business's name. Find out more at http://www.uspto.gov.
Daily Overview: When naming your business be
creative, be obvious, make sure it's available and register it so it's
legally yours.
