The “owner” will be invisible because he or she
does not exist.
Unless fraud is involved, I believe this practice to be entirely legal. Let’s suppose your name is Anita B. Chavez, Golda A.Goldstein, or Bashiyra Binte Nur Um Lifti. You resolve to start a business via the Internet, and you
decide that, in the particular fi eld you have chosen, a generic-type man’s name would look better.
First, choose a three-word business name with the same initials as yours. Then invent a man’s name with the same initials. For example:
. . . . . Your actual name: Anita B. Chavez
. . . . . Bank account name: A. B. Chavez
. . . . . Business name: Awesome Birthday Cards
. . . . . “Owner” name: Albert B. Caldwell
. . . . .
Checks made out to: A.B.C.
The opposite is true, of course, if you are a man who wishes to sell merchandise that will appeal to women. Choose a woman’s name that will seem best to go with the product.
