If you’re starting a business like an LLC or a corporation, you’ll need to make sure that name is available in your state by using your state’s business name database search engine. You can find a link to your state’s database on our business name search page.
It’s also wise to check to see if your desired business name already has any state or federal trademarks. Most state websites have a search engine for looking up existing trademarks in their state. To check for federal trademarks, go to the trademark search engine on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office website.

If you’re forming a state-registered business like an LLC or a corporation, your business name will become registered to you once you complete the state’s business formation paperwork. If you want to reserve a business name but you’re not ready to form your business, most states will allow you to reserve a business name for a set period of time by completing a name reservation application and paying a fee.
To obtain intellectual rights to your business name, you need to register it as a trademark. You can register a trademark at the state level, which gives you rights to the name within your state. If you want broader protection, you can register it at the federal level through the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. However, this is a more costly and time-consuming process.
Trademarks come in different types. For example, there are word- and graphic-based trademarks. If you’re going to add your business name to your logo, it makes sense to register your logo as a trademark as well. For more information, contact your local agency that deals with trademark registration. The registration procedure is fee-based and implies checking your trademark for uniqueness.
If you’re going to do business across several countries or worldwide, you’ll have to register your trademark in each of these countries, or use the Madrid system for the international registration of trademarks.

Your company name must convey the essence of your business, evoke the right associations, and be memorable. However, having a neat name is not enough. Great brands are made of multiple things, including a high-quality product and flawless customer service. On top of that, you need to work hard on promoting your brand and integrating it into your customers’ lives.

If the domain name you like is already occupied, you can consider other extensions, such as .ninja, .store, .guru, etc. Also, you may contact the domain owner and try to persuade them to sell their domain name to you.
