trying to name my real estate investing business...

[Tonya Lucas]

I've spent weeks comparing names on the MO secretary of state site along with GoDaddy & it seems almost all the names are taken! I'm brand new at this, I'll be starting out doing virtual wholesale deals nationwide in the United States & I really need some help. I thought I wanted Nationwide or National included in the name, then I wanted to add wholesaling, then a couple of people told me not be make it very specific, just a general LLC will do. I want to make sure people know what I'm doing, Am I making this more complicated than it is?

Hi Tonya,

I don't know where are you on your business right now, but many business books warn us about getting tangled on this starting things like picking a business name or picking a website design that will cause us not finding deals or doing actual business.

You can always change the name later, or come with an alias (or doing business as).

As for website, it is very common for online retail websites (not major company like Amazon, Target, or Walmart) to have multiple websites but actually run by the same company.  You can have one sure for your company, one for your wholesaling business, and one for your property management business.
