There is a lot to bear in mind when starting up a new business. You may need to register a domain, a company name, and a trademark.

The order in which you register these names is important. Register the domain first, then the company name and finally the trademark. Name search will help you to do this in the correct order and help you to limit the likelihood of name conflicts and name snatching.
