nom/appellation commercial(e) et raison sociale
Je pense que "trade name" renvoie au terme "nom commercial/appellation commerciale" tandis que "business name" fait allusion à la raison/dénomination sociale.

Vous avez raison, après recherches "corporate name" signifie bien "dénomination sociale". Pour moi ce sont des synonymes. Corporate est peut-être plus utilisé aux USA et Canada ? à confirmer

Note from asker:
| Merci pour votre réponse. Quid de corporate name par conséquent qui à mon sens veut dire dénomination sociale? |

Well, in the absence of fuller context, 'business name' in EN is very often a synonym for 'company name' — just as in FR, if one wishes to be strictly accurate, one would say 'business' (= 'entreprise') since not all 'businesses' are necessarily literally (legally!) 'companies'. Hence why more context is vital, to find out how and why these two terms are being used.
Business name can = company name = raison social
Trade name can = 'trading as'
BUT other usages are also possible...
Another fly in the ointment: by definition "raison sociale" can only apply to companies, while there is nothing to stop a sole trader to use a business name or a trading name.
'Trade name' can, however, be a little ambiguous, depending on context and whether or not it is being used with precision.

and if you compare with

I can't see either of them being "la raison sociale" ...
