Choosing a business name is a very important process in starting any business. A business name has the potential to become a well-known logo and introduce your business to customers and society in general. it's the first place your customers will see and it can affect how they see your business.
In helping people to register business names, I have met people who choose names without considering important issues, as a result, they find themselves using business names that do not carry their feelings and commercial goals.
The following are some things to consider when you want to choose a business name
Business Values and Goals:
Before starting to search for a business name, it is important to thoroughly understand the values and goals of your business. These values and goals will help set the foundation for how you want your business to be seen and perceived by customers. For example, you can think about whether you want to be a luxury, affordable, or exceptional service business.
Market Research:
Understand your market and your target customers. identify which group of people you want to attract and which market needs you want to fill. Do a thorough research about your customers, their habits, and their wants so that you can create a business name that will appeal to them.
Creativity and Integrity:
Choose a business name that is easy to hear, read, and remember. Avoid long or complicated names that may be confusing or difficult for people to understand or remember. A business name should be unique and accurately describe the products or services you offer.
Legal research:
Make sure the business name you choose is not being used by another business and that it is legally available. Research the business name on the BRELA website or the business registration authority in your area to ensure that the name is not being used by another business.
Internet research:
Every business has a plan to establish an online presence, make sure the business name you choose is available as a website domain. Doing so early can save you from being late or missing the domain name you want.
Verification:
After choosing a business name, make sure it matches what you want to represent and that it conveys the right image of your business. Do a test on other people to get their opinion and find out how they understand the name.
Name registration:
Finally, once you have made the final selection, register your business name to protect your commercial rights. This may involve registering the business name with the relevant authorities or undertaking the trademark registration process or both
by following these steps, you will have found a suitable business name that will attract the customers you deserve. It is important to take enough time and do thorough research to ensure that the chosen business name is in line with the direction and goals of your business
