I was chatting to a client the other day while doing her nails and she asked if my business was a franchise (which it's not). I soon realised that a girl who has just qualified has started a mobile business in the next town from me and has the same name! To make it worse her own name is the same as mine but with an N at the end. I'm worried that some people will get us confused and if anything was to happen to get her a bad rep it would come back on me! I looked in to getting my name trademarked but it's pricey and I've only been in business for 4 months myself so not really something I want to be spending just now. I rent a room in a hairdresser. Is there any advice anyone can give or do I just go about my business and let her go about hers? :S
