Existing businesses tend to use their trading name, already known to customers to build on its existing profile within the local market and maximise its reputation and accessibility.  If you are new to the market be sure to consider the theme of your website and brandability.  The website content is more important for search engines and long keyword domain names can be difficult to remember, hindering your brand building.  Search engines will supply local results and websites registered with country level domains are giving more weight when search engines are serving local search requests.  Keeping this in mind you must consider where your target market is. If you are looking at supplying within country only, then you may look at registering a ccTLD eg. in the UK , co. UK.  If you are targeting further a field then top level domains eg. .com, .net, .org, should be used.  Non-profit organisations end in .org, while commercial organisations end with .com.  There are new top level domain names now available .biz, .info, and .name.  Registering domain names is on a yearly basis and regulations do vary in each country so be sure to look into this, or use a registration service.
