I have an idea for a social enterprise but need to know following before taking it forward. 

1. Do I have to file for any trademark right now, to protect my business name? Or can I wait?

2. Do I have to register company before it starts? (At the moment only website is up to attract potential customers)

3. Any Do's & Dont's while talking to potential investors?

4. Any other things I need to take care according to you?
