• How can you ensure a business name isn't taken?

  While our AI Business Name Generator makes unique business names, reviewing your favorite business name ideas with a pro can provide you with confidence that a business name is available to use.

  There are a few different ways that business names are protected. Searching whether a name is trademarked in federal and state databases is critical. Also, researching whether the same or similar names are registered as business names in your state or other states can be important to protecting the use of your business name.

• How do you check domain name and social availability for a brand name?

  This requires some online research. First, use our Business Name Generator to brainstorm and then list your favorite business name ideas. Then, go to the various social media platforms that you plan to use for your business and search there to see if someone has already taken the names on your list. Similarly, you can search online for websites that use your business name as the url, or in their marketing.

• What if my business name is already taken?

  You may still be able to use that name, but it will depend on a number of factors. Businesses in different industries or in different states and regions may be able to use the same name, especially when there is no risk of confusion. If you plan to do so, however, speaking with a Legal Pro is a good idea to understand the level of risk you may be taking by doing so.
  It may be an option to reach out to the owner of the business name you wish to use to see if they are interested in selling it. Small businesses often choose a different, unique name to avoid the cost of buying a name or a legal challenge.

• Should I use my name for my business?

  Using your own name as your business name can work in several different industries. For many professionals, freelancers, and entrepreneurs, building your own personal brand can help with marketing.

---

• Why should I keep my business name short?

  Short names are easier to remember. You want your business to be remembered and talked about because there is still no more powerful marketing than word of mouth.

---

• Can you start a business without a business name?

  No. Your business needs a name. You may change your business name after starting up. If you do not have a business name and you have not registered as a business, by default, your business name is your name. In order to register your business, you are required to choose a name.

  How to choose a business name is entirely up to you, but our Business Name Generator can provide you with a variety of options so that you can move forward with starting your business.

• Do I need to use “LLC,” “Co,” or “Inc” after my business name?

  Depending on where and the type of business you operate, you may be required to include the business type at the end of your business name to give consumers and the public in general notice of your business type. Many states do require that LLCs, for example, include LLC, limited liability company, or another term at the end of the business name to clearly indicate to the public that the owners have limited liability.
