Can a small business have the same name as a business in another county?
Looking at starting a paintless dent removal, nterior repair, windhield repair, and wheel repair business and found that a Auto body and paint shop has the same name inc. Can i still register the name and conduct business under that name if i will not be incorprating it?
To the best of my knowledge, yes. I don't claim a perfect knowledge but I do claim an experience.
A little while back there was a similar issue in my parents bakery and it worked out that there was no fowl. I can't quote any international copyright stuff or intellectual property.
I would talk to your state rep for copy-writing a business name to find out cause I have seen several Arizona business where the business had claimed their name, but I think that was only in state.
