In the previous post we have learned how to file business names that are made up of two or more surname. In this post, we are going to learn how to  file names with hyphen (-).

Rule 9

I. A hyphenated name is filed as one unit. Consider the following examples:

Laugh-n-Love Girls Club

They are filed by unit as:

LaughnLove Girls Club
UpandDown Resto Bar

II. A hyphenated word is also filed as one unit. Consider the following examples:

Pro-active
Anti-aircraft
Ultra-magnetic

They are filed by unit as:
