Business Name

toc impalement

With millions of business applications done in the US every year, you need to register a unique business name to stand out from the crowd.

What’s more?

Learning how to register a business name can help to protect your business and prevent other business owners from using it.

However, for aspiring entrepreneurs, registering a business name can be a daunting task.

That’s why we have created this simple guide to teach you how to do it.

Let’s get started.

1. Choose a Suitable Business Name

Suitable Business Name

The first step for registering a business name is to choose a unique name.

In this case, you need to do thorough background checks and research to ensure it’s available, unique, and relevant to your business.

Ensure the name is easy to spell and remember as well.

Here, you can conduct multiple searches as below:

  • Perform a business name search
  • Conduct a domain name search
  • Perform a federal trademark search

Once you have found a great name for your business, let’s register it.

2. Form a Business Entity

The simplest and straightforward way to register your unique business name is to form a legal entity.

Here is why.

When filing your paperwork for your business entity, you will be required to provide a legal name.

Here, you can choose one of the following types of business entities:

  • Sole Proprietorship
  • Limited Liability Company
  • Partnership
  • Corporation

Pro tip: To simplify and speed up your business formation process, use a reliable business formation service like Incfile. Here is a comprehensive Incfile review by GovDocFiling.

3. Register a DBA or Assumed Name

Register a DBA

You can register a “Doing Business As” or assumed name.

This is a fictitious or common name that’s not your legal business name but you can use it to conduct daily business operations.

The best thing about registering an assumed name is that it’s easier to change your name in the future unlike when you register your real business name.

4. Trademark Your Business Name

Trademarking your business name protects your name and business from being copied by others at a national level.

In this case, you can trademark your company logo, symbol, color, slogan, and other types of branding elements related to your business.

5. Secure a Domain Name

Secure a Domain Name

Having a website for your business helps you to target customers globally.

Once you have found a business name, you should also register a domain name that you can use for your business website.

Conclusion

That’s how to register a business name. It’s that simple.

If you have been struggling to register your business name, we hope this guide will be of help. You can also check out this infographic by GovDocFiling for more details.
