What are the Legal Aspects of Choosing a Name for a Business?

There are a few important legal aspects to keep in mind when you are choosing a name for your business. You want to make sure that the name you choose is available and not already being used by another company. You also want to make sure that the name is not too similar to another company’s name. If it is, you could run into trademark issues down the road.

It’s important to do a thorough search of state and federal databases before settling on a name for your business. You can do this yourself or you can hire an attorney to do a search for you. Once you’ve found a name that is available, you will need to register it with the state. This is usually done when you file your Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization. If you have any questions about choosing a name for your business, please contact our office. We would be happy to help you through the process.

Is Hiring a Lawyer Worth It?

The decision of whether or not to hire a lawyer is a personal one. There are a few factors you should consider when making this decision. The first is the cost. Hiring a lawyer will obviously add to the cost of starting your business. The second is the complexity of the task at hand. If you are comfortable doing your own research and are confident in your ability to choose a name that is available and not too similar to another company’s name, then you may not need to hire a lawyer. However, it may be best to ensure these matters are handled correctly from the get-go to help you save money in the long run.  If you are unsure of the process or would feel more comfortable having someone else handle the legal aspects of choosing a name for your business, then hiring a lawyer may be the best option for you.
