wondering if my business name is already in use.

i have decided to name my business Crested Creations. is this name already in use, if so you is using it? thanks. Colleen

thanks, i want to keep it short and simple. i googled and Yahoo'd it, and found nothing, so i guess i can claim it as my business name? am i supposed to have it trademarked or copyrighted? i don't exactly know. it will be a gecko business and mostly online.

If you want to be serious about it, you need to check the DBN database of your state and US Trademark office to see if it's in use. A name can be owned and not on the internet.

If you plan on this being a serious business (claiming income, etc), you will need to file a DBN and think about fileing a Trademark on the name.

i doubt i can make a profit on it, when it all comes down to how many Gex i am feeding and how many i would be selling. so it will be a small hobby type business. BTW- i checked the trademark link and it was not found.

I think the name is very catchy!! Good luck!

thank you.
