Select a Business Name

Choose the name of your business carefully, one that will grow with your business. A name should tell or give some idea of the nature of your business as well as project the type of image that you desire to have. Once you come up with a name, check to see that it is not already being used. There are a number of resources available including local government offices and trade directories.

A business name that includes your last name does not need to be registered, but if the name you select does not have the last name of all the owners of the business, you need to file a Fictitious Business Name Statement with the County Clerk and publish it in the newspaper once a week for four weeks in a row.
