E4 - How to Name & Incorporate your Freelance Business

In this episode of the Freelance Afternoon Show Dean and I will talk about naming and incorporating your freelance business. Specifically, we'll tackle how naming reflects your business goals. This includes using your personal name vs a branded business name, social media options, domains available, and specific vs global goals. Additionally, we will talk about how consistency affects your business and tell you about the site we've been using to check if the name or trademark for your business are still available.
