    This tends to vary by states. In some states you can call your business what it is based upon what it does and how it works with the public. In other states, you can’t call yourself an architectural business without have a state certified person on the staff. You might be able to use a name that reflects what you do but not as specific as you like.

    I don’t know. The bigger legal problem is what happens if the house or building collapses, someone dies or is injured, and he gets sued for not having designed it better. If the law in his state says that you have to be an architect or engineer to design housings or buildings, then he is in big trouble no matter what the business is called.

    I think the question is missing an important element–
    can you [or anyone] call yourself an
    ‘xyz’ company, just because of skills?

    IN the US, we first need to determine
    if the type of business we want to open is a business that requires
    a state issued, skills license–such
    as doctor, hair dresser [poor example?], real estate broker [me]
    or other.

    I am assuming all businesses who
    deal in the real estate world need a
    “skills” license.

    Also a fact;
    in most if not all states, if a person
    is hired to perform a licensed skill
    and it is found after the fact that
    the person has no such license, that
    person MAY NOT BE PAID–OR
    THE customer may legally withhold
    payment.

    Thus, if a friend or relative wishes to involve in any occupation that requires
    a license, that person must take the
    applicable tests, apply for the license
    and NOT consider opening said
    company till the app is accepted by the licensing authority and license is in hand!

    thanks for asking
