Trademark vs company registration

Company incorporation establishes a business entity. Trademark registration concerns a brand identifier for specified goods or services. One process does not replace the other.

Start with two separate questions

What legal structure should operate the business? What name or logo will identify its products or services? Treat these as separate decisions and plan the checks for each.

Prepare both name choices

Record your proposed entity name and customer-facing brand. They may differ. Explain the business activity, intended ownership and goods or services when requesting professional guidance.

Ask about the scope

Confirm whether your quotation covers entity-name work, trademark searching and filing, or only one of these. Keep acknowledgements and records for each process separately.

Get a clear scope before you proceed.

Tell us your objective. Ask for the document checklist, applicable charges and what is included.
