Find out if your desired business name is available.*
Corporations, LLCs, and other entities must have distinguishable legal names in each state where they register. We search the secretary of state's public database to give you a preliminary indication of whether your desired business name is available. Final determination of business name availability can only be obtained through state approval of name reservation or company formation documents.
*Please note that business name availability, business name protection, and trademark infringement are deceptively complex subjects. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice.
