Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1

Choose 5-10 good names that you feel will fit your business. You need to tell people who you are and the type of music you produce. In short your business name should say it all. The reason for choosing a number of names for your record label is that if one is taken you can still fall back on the others and not have to waste time rethinking your names.

Step2

Go to a domain name registry and see if any if these names are already taken. Try for .com and .net as these are the most popular and visitors will be familiar with them. This quick check will tell you if anyone has the names already online and will help you with your ultimate choice. When you register your domain name always get both .com and .net so that nobody can have a similar name to you and leech off your marketing efforts.

Step3

When starting your own record label, ask the State Registrar to check if any offline business has these names. This will ensure that you are the sole user and nobody can infringe on your copyrights. It also stops you from any unpleasant lawsuits later on if people contend your rights to use a business name.

Step4

Select one unique name. Choose the best name from among the ones that you are left with. Remember it needs to be one that is appropriate for your business and music. Register a domain name for your upcoming website. It is important to do this quickly before it gets taken by someone else.
