Top Business Name

Try to Choose a Concise Name when you Apply for a Business Name in NSW, Victoria, or QLD

USE TOP BUSINESS NAME FOR YOUR BUSINESS NAME REGISTRATION

Have you ever looked at a company name and wondered why so many are short, concise names? Well, there are many reasons for that, many of which make perfect business sense.

First, you don't want a name that's difficult to remember. Many companies need to advertise their services using various media streams, and a long term won't stick in customers' minds. You need something short and catchy to do that. Second, it's a lot more challenging to incorporate a long-drawn-out name into artwork when designing fresh marketing material. You're likely to change your style and corporate identity often, so why choose a long and unwieldy name that's difficult to use on artwork and websites?

These are two reasons why many successful companies use short names that people can easily remember. Take Google and Amazon as prime examples—easy to remember and use on websites, adverts, and signage.

How should you go about choosing your business name? Well—first off, what does your company do? If you sell widgets, why not call your company "Widgets"? There's no need to expand on that unless you want to add a little flair. "Widget City," perhaps. Don't go for something any longer unless you really must.

So, you've chosen your name—what must you do to make it official?
