Ekaete just finished printing her branded bags and complimentary cards. She posted it on her WhatsApp status and her friend Uwem asked her if she had registered her business and she said not yet. She was planning to register it in a few months.

Uwem screamed and told her she had made a mistake but she should come to us first and we may be able to help her.

So Ekaete paid us to register her business name but when we conducted a search, we discovered that the name she wanted had already been registered. What will she now do with all the nylons she had branded and the cards she had printed?

This has been the situation with most of our clients lately.

One of the mistakes that most business owners make is to start using a name that they haven’t first registered.

Picking a name and reserving it, is one of the first steps in setting up a legal structure for any business owner.

Before deciding whether you want a business name or a company, you have to pick a name that is not only easy to pronounce and distinctive, you have to pick a name that can be reserved and used to register your business.

This is the first thing we do for all our clients, we help them pick a business name that will give them a distinctive legal identity while taking into consideration the name that they want their business to be identified with.

P.S: We were able to register Ekaete’s business name and she didn’t have to lose all the bags and card that she had already branded. This is a true life story!

So, if you’re about starting your business and you’re unsure of how to go about getting a legal identity and structure for your business, send us a DM now and let’s begin.
