Additionally, do not forget to check to see if your business name / trademark is available before use thereof. It happens all to often – a business starts, markets itself, only to discover down the road they are infringing on another’s mark and have to change their entire brand identity and start from scratch again. So make sure you clear use of your brand before you begin use of the same.
