Decoding the benefits of registering a Business

Decoding the benefits of registering a Business

There are lots of benefits which are there of registering a business in India and they are as follows-

  1. It gives you a structure- By forming a new company, it gives you a better structure of business, like suppose if you want to open a one man company then you can go for One person company formation, or if there are Partners in your company then you must opt for a Partnership Firm and by forming a company, it helps in smoothly running of a firm.
  2. Without structure there is no order in the company and therefore it affects the profit margin of the company. Therefore when we talk about business then we must focus on how must give a properly organized structure to your business idea.
  3. By opting for a registration of company, it gives a separate entity to your business, as you get certificate of incorporation which can be called as a Birth Certificate of your newly formed company.
  4. There is perpetual existence of a company, like when we open a startup , then everyone one only wants to make money but also they want to establish a legacy. When a business is registered it gives a separate entity. If and when the owner of the business dies the business can continue to exist. Its ownership can be transferred to another Director, or it can lie dormant.
  5. Registered business are more trustworthy, basically unregistered business is worthless as before doing any business, anyone wants to have safe business and they do not want to lose in their services, therefore registered business are termed as more understandable as compared to the unregistered one.
  6. Limited liability partnership is probably the most overused terms when it comes to “ benefits of Business Registration”, however people are still fuzzy about its meaning. So Limited Liability means that a company is a separate legal entity and it has to bear its own losses.

Conclusion

When it comes to business registration, there are many but when we talk about its benefits, there we lack, I hope that through this blog we have enlightened you with the understanding of what the benefit actually means.

5 Tips- How To Pick Or Find The Perfect Brand Name Of Your Product?

5 Tips- How To Pick Or Find The Perfect Brand Name Of Your Product?

“The first impressions is everything”

When you have access to a product that you trade with, you would want for it to be remembered. How it is remembered on the basis of  how you name it and naming the product is the whole essence of branding. With a right name, any product that comes into the market can grab the attention of the onlookers.

This was probably the same thought that the creators of coca-cola had! Now look at it, one of the leading products of our generation with nearly 200 years of existence.

Do you want to make sure that your service or your brand name is on the lips of everyone out there?

Well, it is not even a question, is it? Of course you! Well, to that end, let us tell you some tips that will assist you with naming the product in a best way possible. 

Naming the brand in the best way possible:

The following tips that we are going to tell you about are applicable for every product that you can use to grab the attention of the consumers or the service seekers.

  1. Choose a name that you can speak right: for something to be able to sound right, you should be able to speak it right as well. While you are naming your trade, speak it out and clear. If your mouth does not move a lot, then it is interesting, if it moves too much, then it is overly complicated. Therefore, choose the name that is impactful and yet, and a bit subtle as well.
  1. Your brand name should be able to sound right: now, in order for the name of the brand to sound right, it should not be confusing in any shape or form. Choosing a right sounding name can be tricky because of the simple reason that you need the output of others in this. Go outside and ask complete strangers about the name. you will be surprised to hear how man strangers give you the right response. Take them to heed and rename of your brand if you have to, but makes sure that it sounds right.
  1. Get all of your legal aspect: now, if you want to brand your product in a way that it grows without hindrance like the name getting stolen by other individuals. To that end, you need to make sure that your mark is unique. To get this information, you need to do a trademark search. This search will tell you of the name you have chosen is right and is available for your trade.
  1. Give your name a test run online: one of the ways to know as to whether your ideas will be successful will be with blogs and other online methods. Therefore, once you have thought on a name, you need to start a blog with the name as a domain name or you can start a Facebook group with that name. the amount of people who are going to like the group when you first start the page, is also a form of confirmation from a public that you can look into.
  1. Choose a name that is somehow descriptive and also is not descriptive: this might be the most confusing name that you have ever read. To that end, let us clear this up for you. When you want to choose the brand name the first thought that goes through your head is to name it in such a way, that somehow, the quality and type of your product are emphasized in it. However, this cannot happen. To that end, you can make use of such entities to name your brand that does not claim the quality of your product outright, but does it in a subtle manner. To exemplify, when you hear “Jaquar” you automatically think fast car, sports car etc. similarly when you hear “ Ambuja”, the strength of your word accentuates on reinforcement and therefore, it is the trademark name for a particular brand of cement. 

If you go by the last tip, you might think that the entire matter is tricky. To be honest, it is. However, if you follow along these tips you can be assured that the brand name that you decide upon is not only growth worthy but also durable.

 

Also after choosing the brand name , you must also get it Trademarked so that no one else can copy the same .
