Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Try putting your company name in the First and Last name and see what happens. Mine didn't work, so I just made up a first and last name and pretty much left it as is. It controls my youtube channel and a couple other things that I don't want an employee to have access to.

I sell pizza in New York, you sell pizza in New Jersey and we're friends.  Naturally, I would link to you as "Montauto's Pizza".   I wouldn't use "New Jersey Pizza".

if you link but nofollow google sees the association but you don't pass page juice so that is probably the best bet
