Hi folks
I have a good name I think for an online business and I would like to make sure that it does not infringe on any trademark etc. How do I go about checking this? Does it also matter whether I do a search at companies house??? Any other precautions I should take????
My business knowledge is limited so any advice on this matter will be appreciated.

PS is it worth buying up ".shop" and ".eu" or ".biz" domains as well as the .co.uk one for a small retail business????

Hi,
You can check it online with Companies House from Monday to Saturday 7.00am to 12 Midnight

Hope this helps.0 -
Personally wouldn't say it was worthwhile buying several domain names - unless you reckon your business could become HUGE!!!
Stick to one domain, and advertise it well.0
