Business Name Chooser vs Lisbon Street Art

Spend more time developing your business

Business Name Chooser is a free iOS and Android app that helps you check a business name with ASIC, IP Australia, domain and social media simultaneously. When you are starting a business there are many vital activities that you have to do. Choosing the name for your business often sets the tone, form and brand for your new venture, and it’s hard to think of a logo or website look and feel before you have the name set. You don’t want to tell friends and colleagues before you have a name either - firstly, it’s hard to explain without a handle and secondly you don’t want anyone borrowing your idea! Business Name Chooser is a FREE app that helps you rapidly test various business names. Normally when you set up a business you need to check that the name is available in the business name databases for Government registration, and company incorporation with ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission), that it does not match an existing trademark already provided to another business by IP Australia, and that there is a suitable domain name available. This app takes all the hard work out of that by simultaneously checking these different databases and then confirming if the name is acceptable. If the name does clash with any existing names can will be able to choose a new name or try out some suggestions from the App. As an Adviser to numerous startups, Brent Jackson says: I am often amazed how far people go with the development of a complete product offering before ensuring they can secure their name - it’s a costly mistake.

Lisbon Street Art in the palm of your hand

Those visiting the beautiful city of Lisbon have a new way to explore the local urban art, with everything the curious and adventurous need. This project is called Lisbon Street Art and puts into everyone's hand the possibility of contributing or just exploring an unlikely but increasingly varied route in this city that has turned the walls into an art book. Using geolocation, you can know exactly where and what the nearest piece of art is. Mind you this this app is not a list: it's a gallery. The application can not only find the compositions that still physically exist in Lisbon, but also the ones not present anymore. Every piece has a story, and these are no exception to the rule. With each mural, sculpture or painting you can meet an artist, an history.
