The name of your company

You start by finding a good name for your business. 

A good name doesn't necessarily have to describe your products or services. You can choose one that does, but that's usually a bad idea.

Instead, it would be best if you had an original name. It can be one or two words, but keep it short. One name might be "Cool Things." Look in Collin's dictionary at https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english and find terms commonly used in English. The name can also be arbitrary, such as "Liortow," which has no meaning. Just make sure you come up with something easy to remember and pronounce.

The name must be more or less unique and not used by anyone else for you to get the domain name for the internet, tradename, and trademark. Check register.com (for domain names), your country's online tradename search site (for tradenames), and TMView at https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/#/tmview (for trademarks).
The idea is that you start your business with this name and no one can steal it from you later.

Finally, it would help if you got the usernames for social media. The most popular social media sites you should get a username for are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Linkedin. However, other good options exist, such as TikTok, Pinterest, Tumblr, and Blogger. Of course, which social media sites you choose for your business depend on your business's needs.

That's it for now, my friends! See you in the next post!
