This page summarizes named businesses from Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. They are generally divided into two groups: those that are operated by sympathetic characters are given the name of the owner, while companies operated by evil or incompetent characters are given generic names. Those who use their own names to name their companies become Strikers, with the minor exception of Mr. Ayers of the Ayers Music Publishing Company.
