However, by following these simple steps, you can overcome the hurdles there-in.

Steps, Tips and Warnings.

1) Choose uncommon Business Names. When registering your Business Name, think up Business Names that are not common.

Most business owners have seen their choice Business Names rejected because it had been used by another individual.

Now, you have to be creative and ingenious about it. Once you have chosen an uncommon Business Name, you must have saved yourself the headache of going through the whole process again, and purchasing of another Availability Form would have been avoided.


2)Have an alternative Business Name. In the CAC Availability Form, you’ll be required to submit one back up name to your most preferred Business Name.

This is for fear that the one you want may have been taken by someone else. You can also have few more Business Names in mind.
