Display name you want

This exact name is on my website, signboard, invoices or social pages It's a business, brand, product or department name (not my personal name)

✕Words in all capitals (SHARMA, ELECTRONICS!!!) — write it as on your signboard, e.g. "Sharma Electronics". Short acronyms like "ABC" are fine.
✕Remove emojis
✓No trademark symbols
✕Remove extra punctuation (like !!, *, #, @) unless your brand is really written that way
✓Not just a general word
✓It names a business, brand, product or department
!Make sure the same name appears on your website or other branding — Meta checks this link

Normal capital letters (all capitals only for short acronyms), no emojis, no ™ or ® symbols, no extra punctuation.
Not just a general word like "Fashion" or "Food", and not a person's own name.
You may add a place or department: "Sharma Electronics Pune", "Sharma Electronics Support".
