ventureburn.com - Online startups are not only becoming the norm. Each day there are more companies tackling consumer needs, such as online shopping, buying platforms, and even security. Here are some basics you should have in place when it comes to getting your online business in order.

Register a domain name, trademarks and get social media handles

Firstly, make sure that the name you want to use is not already being used by someone else. You do this by checking that your preferred name is available as a trademark, domain name and on social media. Keep in mind that registering a trademark does not mean you will get the domain name and vice versa. It is important to get the social media handles as soon as you know what your company or website name will be. Social media is a powerful marketing tool and you don’t want someone else to have a Facebook or Twitter account with your company’s name.
