Total Noob Starting out

[Christopher Labonte]

Hey all!

Man am I excited, I wont get into the details on here though.  For that youll have to check out my page and see what I've written about!

So for all you with 0 experience to the pro's, I have a really basic question.  

I'm in the middle of creating a business model, defining my business, and doing all the leg work to secure financing for it and what not.  I've caught the bug, and I'm starting to get real creative with getting funding.  Not only that but my network is expanding quite a bit and I need an organization to catch up.  The thing that I'm struggling with is the name.  I know, pretty lame.  However it is the face of the company that everyone see's.  Ive got 2 on my mind, but I'm open to opinions.

1) Frontier Real Estate Services

2) Frontier Investments

I'm sure everyone has similar ideas on how and what the organization will do, but so we are on the same page ultimately Id like to be a one stop shop (not necessarily a brokerage though).  I want to buy houses, sell houses, and once it gets big enough and automated enough I'd like to manage the properties in the "company portfolio".  If any one has suggestions or anything, that would be great!  Thanks everyone!

I think you need to check the DBA database in you state and the federal one so you are not stepping on anyone's toes, also check for copyrights to that name through the federal government, and lastly, I think that the new marketing for housing with be with words like nysinc....the millennials will love it. LOL Okay that wa a joke.....But you de need to check if that name has been used and if so to what degree do the others using that name own it.
I have a friend with a DBA for 25 years never got a copyright on the name or logo.  SOmeone like what they did found out they didn't register it with the right people, stole the name and logo by getting it registered and cost my friend 2 million to rebrand his company. 

If you have any further question tag me.

Oh and by the way you can get a business consultant that would help you with all the start up things that you should be doing.  Not that you need one to do the work but if you don't have a degree in business or accounting you will need some help.

Good Luck!
