This helps provide maximum context when companies are connected to properties, investments, and contacts. When you {% inlineRouterLink %}add a new company{% /inlineRouterLink %}, please consider the following:\n\n  ## Challenges\n\n  - There are tens of thousands of companies in the industry.\n  - Even within a certain geographic area, some companies have similar names.\n  - Companies use legal entities to manage risk. These entities sometimes have vague and/or confusing names.\n  - Companies operate under various aliases tied to brands, geographies, programmatic joint ventures, stock ticker symbols, different business lines, and acquired companies.\n  - Companies go out of business\n  - Well-known industry contacts start new companies\n\n  ## Suggestions\n\n  - Propose a name that industry practitioners associate with the company.\n  - Propose a spoken name (ex. \"Tower Hunt\") instead of a legal name (ex. \"Tower Hunt, Inc\", \"Tower Hunt, LLC\").\n  - Be curious about a company's independence: avoid proposing companies that roll up under other companies.\n  - Some entities trace back to one-off actors that will not repeatedly transact. This is often the case with development sites. Instead of entering these entities as *companies*, try tracking them in {% inlineRouterLink articleId=\"stay-organized-with-tasks\" %}tasks{% /inlineRouterLink %} and/or {% inlineRouterLink %}notes{% /inlineRouterLink %}.`,\n};\n"],"names":["howToNameCompanies"],"mappings":"AACY,MAACA,EAAqB,CAChC,MAAO,EACP,KAAM,wBACN,YAAa,uBACb,SAAU;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA;AAAA,6VAmBZ"}
