Answer 1

if your list is null then you will get error

public ActionResult Index(string Name)
    {
        var list=new List<YourModelName>();
        if (Name != null)
        {
            list = BLL.Establishment_Serv.getEstablishmentByName(Name.ToUpper());
            return View(list);
        }
        else {
        return View(list);
}
    }

Answer 2

Have you put this inside your view:

@model IEnumerable<YourModel>
