apostrophe placement
I am in the process of starting a business. The business is called "2 VETS LAWN CARE". Where would the apostrophe go? Would it be VET"S or VETS' ? We are Veterans, there are two of us, hope this helps.

2 VETS' LAWN CARE
(For the sake of simplicity, some businesses would not use any apostrophe.)

The possessive of a plural word ending in "s" is formed by adding an apostrophe to the end of the word: VETS'. But it would be good English to have no apostrophe, too, and you wouldn't have to mess with an apostrophe on any signs or shingles or truck lettering if you leave it off. It's good enough for the Pep Boys.

Thank you 
My business partner and I were arguing about it. I believe we will go with no apostrophe for the sake of simplicity.
