Search the company registry, social handles and domain names before you print anything.
Before you fall in love with a name
- Search the company registry: the Corporate Affairs Commission in Nigeria, the Office of the Registrar of Companies in Ghana, the Business Registration Service in Kenya, CIPC in South Africa, Companies House in the UK, or your state's business registry in the US.
- Check the Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp Business handle, and the .com or local domain (.ng, .com.gh, .co.ke, .co.za, .co.uk).
- Say it over the phone. If people ask you to spell it twice, keep looking.
- Leave room to grow: “Lekki Cakes” is harder to take to Abuja than “Ade Bakes”.
