That's It!
Once you have found that your tradename is distinctive, non-confusingly similar, and available, you need to protect that name. Obtain the tradename's domain name with all the prominent extensions (.com, .org, .net, .biz, and if appropriate .pro). Form your corporation or LLC (if applicable) using that tradename (as permitted by your state licensing board, if applicable). File your trademark and/or fictitious business name registrations as appropriate. Set up your website, print your business cards and letterhead, and you are on your way!
