When Construction Companies Need to Build a New Identity

There comes a day for many construction companies when their business names or corporate structures cease to serve every need.

So, in order to limit their legal exposure, update their brand identity or to provide some flexibility for investors and local contracts, creating a new entity or even establishing a whole new identity might be in order.

Brand and market perception

It happens all the time, said attorney Laura Colca with Goldberg Segalla in Buffalo, New York. A construction company starts out with a practical name, perfectly fine for conducting business, but then wants to switch to a catchier or streamlined moniker.

This could be the case if the contractor gets into a related trade that doesn’t exactly fit its existing identity or simply wants to include a “dot com” in the name to make it easier for customers to find its website.
