Think back to when you first started your business, and how you chose your trade name. Most likely, you chose a name that described the goods or services to be provided. Perhaps the name was drawn from a childhood memory, an element of nature, or a personal experience that changed your life. Maybe you used your own name in some form.
Finding the right name for your company may take some time, so best not to rush it. Experiment with more than one idea or concept, and let your imagination go. Be creative with a name that sets you apart from the rest. Ultimately, the name you choose for your company will become a reflection of you, the owner.
If you decide to form a partnership, corporation, or a limited liability company, your company name will become public and will be listed on the Nevada Secretary of State’s website, along with the names of its owners and officers. Members of the public can check the website to see whether your company is in good standing and actively doing business in this state.
If you have a particular trade name in mind for your business, you can search the Nevada Secretary of State’s website to determine whether the name is already in use. If you are sure about the name, and it is available, you can reserve it for 90 days while you set up your company. There is a reservation fee of $25.00. In addition to preparing and submitting Articles of Incorporation/Organization and the Registered Agent Acceptance, you’re going to need a Nevada business license.
Once you receive your company charter and business license, it’s time to celebrate (very important). You are going to accomplish great things!
