Which source is best for determining a business name in the examples?

• A. on the company website
• B. in the letter address
• C. in the letterhead
• D. none of the above

Answer: (C)

In records management, the letterhead is the most reliable place to identify the organization’s formal business name. It’s produced by the company for official communications and typically displays the registered legal name, with consistent branding across documents. This makes it a stable, authoritative reference for the entity behind the correspondence. In contrast, a website may show branding or a trade name that differs from the legal name, and the address line in a letter is about where the letter is sent from or to, not the company’s formal identity. So, for accurately determining the business name in these examples, the letterhead provides the clearest and most official indication.
