Company name apostrophes?

Which would be correct if the company has several owners? Smiths' Electrical, Smith's Electrical or considering that the electrical is a descriptor rather than something that's owned by the Smiths would it just be Smiths Electrical?
  

Top answer

In modern business names, apostrophes often seem too fussy. Smiths Electrical does not look right. I suggest simply Smith Electrica l.

Smith Electrical woud be my preferred option but unfortunately in the case our actual surname is also the name of a nearby town, and we don't want people to think that we're based there!

Do you have to use your name?
Or can you consider eg Superior Electrical?
