What should I name by business?

There is more to naming your business than just coming up with something that sounds good and you happen to like. Thought must be given to state and local requirements and making sure you don't infringe upon the rights of someone else's business name. You will need to determine whether your trade name will be the same as the full legal name of your business.

Of equal importance is finding out whether your name or a very similiar name is being used by another business, and if so, what rights they may or may not have to use the name in the area where you do business. Keep in mind that some businesses only file trademarks within their locality, so it is possible that the same name can be used elsewhere.
