Trade Name Registration

What is Trade Name Registration?

It’s registering the name you trade under, which can be different from your legal company name.

Think of it like this…

It’s your business’s stage name.

Why does it matter?

  • Helps customers identify your brand
  • May be required for contracts and licensing
  • Does not grant exclusivity unless also registered as a trade mark

Best practice

Consider trade mark protection if the name is valuable to your brand.
