Top tip: If you're registering a company, don't choose a name with special characters, especially at the start or end of your name. There are too many systems which can't cope with this and it will cause you pain.
This toot brought to you by me interacting with a *very* large firm whose programmers haven't discovered bound parameters for SQL statements (assuming they're using a relational database, that might be too advanced tech). Not my business but I have to deal with the fallout.
