Business Name vs Company
A business name and a company are not the same thing. A company is a legal business structure, while a business name is the name under which a business operates.
- Business name does not create a separate legal entity
- Company registration creates a separate structure
- Your requirements depend on your business structure
- Professional advice can help you choose appropriately
