RE: FN-FORUM Which way to go?

I have been lead to believe that as long as the name you are trading under
is not the same as some in your locale! and is not obviously misleading then
pretty much anything else is ok. I get away with "Anderson Consultants" as
my surname is Anderson and I do consulting work and of course I have nothing
to do with Arthur Anderson at all :) apart from receiving misdirected
emails... I have also been using the name for approximately 6 years now as
well.

but that wouldn't stop anyone else trading under the same name would it?
