When selecting a business name, it's important to make sure it's not too similar to your competitors. To avoid any confusion, I suggest doing research on your competitors and checking domain availability to make sure your name is unique and distinctive. You can also use an online trademark search to check for any potential trademark issues. Additionally, you may want to consult with a lawyer to ensure that your business name is legally protected.

I am not sure in your country. In my country, we have a n agency called DTI. It is an agency that will check if the business name is similar to others. In terms of items, there are times that imported goods need to be sold by different companies.

Well, if you are a person who intends to start a business, then you must make sure that you do not copy the exact name and create an entirely different name.

Do a company search with the Company Registry. See if any companies out there are already using the name you intend to use for your business. Check domain name availability and do a trademark search are also important.

That's correct, I went to DIT before starting my business and it was checked if my business name has no duplication thankful there was none.

Conduct a thorough trademark search and compare your proposed name to existing businesses in your industry. Check domain availability and similarity in social media handles. Consider consulting a legal professional to ensure name is distinctive and not infringing on existing trademarks.

This is the more reason why you need to carry out proper market research so that you will not pick a business name that is similar to your rivalry.
