What is a brand? A brand is defined as a product or good or service or even a concept which aspires to be publicly different and distinguished from other products, good, services, or concepts available in the market for the simple reason that it can be easily communicated and marketed around the globe. A company or a brand name must have a name and a brand name is defined as the name of the distinctive product, good, service, or concept.

With many startups coming in India, the first and foremost step of any startup to begin its operations in India is to know how to register a company or a brand name in India. However before that one must understand that both the concepts are different. There is a difference between brand name and company name in India. For example, Paytm, as we all know, is one of the leading e-commerce websites in India and with the current state of demonetization and a wave of cashless transaction in India we all must be aware of what Paytm does. So, Paytm is a website but its company name is One97 Communication. Here, Paytm is the brand name whereas One97 Communication is the name of the company. Brand name and company  name can be same or can be different. Now, let us learn how to register a brand or company name in India in a few easy steps:

There are primarily two ways to register a brand or company name:

(1) Private Limited Company or LLP Registration Way

(2) Trademark or brand registration way

Let us discuss both these ways in detail:

  1. Private Limited Company or LLP Registration Way

It is one of the most popular methods of registration. It is a popular legal entity among the startups in India.
