Business availability search?

Does anyone here know of a FREE business availability search engine? Please let me have the web address if you do. I need to know if a company name is already taken. Thank you!

The free preliminary (that's the key word) search engines are listed in the sources box.

Check all variations you can think of (i.e. synonyms, spelling variations, etc). Again, even if it's clear here does not mean that the name is truly available. Only comprehensive research will tell you that; please see below for details about comprehensive research.

Prior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available.

This entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark.

Research is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!

There are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning. Similar names in related classes, distribution channels and customer matter too. You are affected by Common Law use (14 million), State Trademarks (500,000) and Federal Trademarks (2 million).

I wish you much success & happiness in all your endeavors!

Fantastic! Best of luck to you! Report It

You really need to check with the Secretary of State, Division of Corporations (LLC, Partnership) in your state to see if the name is available. This can be done online in most if not all states. Report It

In re: to trade_info's comment -- that's the last link I posted for you. However, if you're doing business outside your state, you're going to want to check all of them. Report It
