Description
Here are some of the common mistakes made with business names by Biennial Statement.
Not really the only option. It's not just about the law when it comes to names. There are a lot of legal names that work fine until you grow and find someone else with the same name who had it first in the same business area.
Gag-me names that are cute, stupid, or mean. Names like Drain Surgeons, The Stalk Market, and Get Plastered came from hubpages.com. Puns can be dangerous. I like puns, but sometimes they get old. It's great when they work.
Too cool or too stupid. What if a trend goes out of style, but your business is still going? For example, things named after bell-bottom pants, fax machines, or the year 2000. Did anyone else notice that Disney had to start over with its themes for the future after the year 2000 passed? And names that have nothing to do with a person's race, religion, or sexual orientation get old way too fast.
