Every contractor who has their own contracting business has struggled with the question of … “What name should I call my Company”? And… Just about every contractor who has added to the services they provided in the past or has changed from a sole proprietorship to something else has struggled with the question of …”Should I modify my Company Name to better fit the new services I am providing or to reflect my new status?” The point is, for whatever reason you have to change the name you have been doing business with and which you have printed on the contractors forms you use, be careful that the changes have not created a situation that lawyers refer to as “Operating Out Of Name Style!”
