The name should be unique and communicate what your business does. It also needs to be available as a website <span data-term-id=\"54203210\">domain name<\/span>. Of course, your LLC name also must comply with your state\u2019s naming laws.<\/p>\n<p>Combining all these qualities into one <span data-term-id=\"54203203\">brand name<\/span> is no small task. The following tips will help you pick a legal business name that you can be happy with for the life of your business.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Form your LLC with confidence.\u202f<a href=\"https:\/\/legalzoomcominc.pxf.io\/c\/4851649\/2115288\/26746?subId1=llc-name-ideas-in-content\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" data-cta=\"Biz LZ - LATL Callout\" data-cta-url=\"legalzoom.com\" target=\"_blank\">Our trusted partner LegalZoom has packages starting at $0 + filing fees.<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span data-term-id=\"54203206\">Brainstorm<\/span> Your <span data-term-id=\"54203204\">LLC Name Ideas<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>For many\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/business-start-up-checklist.html\"><span data-term-id=\"54203198\">startup<\/span> businesses<\/a>, coming up with a memorable and <span data-term-id=\"54203219\">catchy<\/span><span data-term-id=\"54203219\">\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/choosing-your-business-name.html\"><span data-term-id=\"54203219\">business name<\/span><\/a>\u00a0seems like one of the most challenging steps. When you are ready to pick a <span data-term-id=\"54203203\">brand name<\/span>, get creative. Make a long list of names that you narrow down as you go.<\/p>\n<p>As you try to develop the perfect business name for your LLC or corporation (corp.), remember to be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Descriptive<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Easy to understand<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Memorable<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Potential to integrate Search Engine Optimization (<span data-term-id=\"54203214\">SEO<\/span>) key terms<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Unique<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These ideas may help you create a good business name:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Try a <span data-term-id=\"54203200\">Business Name Generator<\/span>:<\/strong>\u00a0If you need help <span data-term-id=\"54203206\">brainstorming<\/span> name ideas, try an online <span data-term-id=\"54203200\">business name generator<\/span> to get started. An online <span data-term-id=\"54203201\">company name<\/span> generator usually takes a keyword you provide and adds something to it. Some of them will even check the <span data-term-id=\"54203209\">social media<\/span> and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/business-operations\/how-to-register-a-domain-name.html\"><span data-term-id=\"54203210\">domain <\/span><span data-term-id=\"54203226\">name<\/span><\/a><span data-term-id=\"54203226\">\u00a0availability<\/span>. Do not rely on the generator alone; double-check the name with an internet search and trademark search to be sure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Make It Personal:<\/strong>\u00a0Many successful business owners use some form of their name or the name of a loved one as their business name. Unfortunately, many of these names are already\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/naming-a-business.html\">trademarked<\/a>\u00a0by other businesses. The other challenge with this strategy will be finding a <span data-term-id=\"54203210\">domain name<\/span> that is not already taken. But with a bit of creativity, you can still make your LLC name personal. Creating an acronym, a new word, or a compound word is a great way to do just that. Consider combining your initials and your children\u2019s initials. Or think about whether you could use your pets\u2019 names to create your business name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Create a Compound Word:<\/strong>\u00a0By combining two words that describe your business, you can sometimes come up with a clear and unique\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/choosing-your-business-name.html\">LLC name<\/a>. An excellent example of this is Groupon, which combines group and coupon. Not only is this name memorable, but it is also clear to the consumer what the business does. Remember that <span data-term-id=\"54203219\">catchy<\/span><span data-term-id=\"54203219\"> business names<\/span> are memorable, clear, and concise.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Create a New Word or Make an Acronym:<\/strong>\u00a0When you create a brand-new word, you can be confident that it will be unique to you. Swedish <span data-term-id=\"54203221\">entrepreneur<\/span> and business magnate Ingvar Kamprad did that when he created the name for IKEA. The name IKEA is both a new word and an acronym or abbreviation. The farm and village in which Ingvar Kamprad grew up were called Elmtaryd, Agunnaryd. By making an acronym out of his initials and the first letters of his farm and village, Kamprad created the name of the most famous furniture chain in the world. If you create a new word, make sure that it is pronounceable so that <span data-term-id=\"54203215\">potential customers<\/span> can tell their friends and family about it.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Consider your business structure<\/strong>: If you are not formed as an LLC, you cannot use the abbreviation LLC in your name. You also can utilize a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/what-is-a-dba-.html\">Doing Business As\u00a0<\/a>(DBA Name) if you decide you want to use another name that isn\u2019t your legal name.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Coming up with a creative business name is not the end of your <span data-term-id=\"54203206\">brainstorming<\/span> journey.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Legal Considerations For <span data-term-id=\"54203201\">Company Name<\/span> Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now that you have done the creative work, you must narrow your list.<\/p>\n<p>To help you narrow your list further, check whether other businesses already use<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/starting-your-own-business-business-name-availability.html\">\u00a0your potential names<\/a>. You should also consider the legal requirements for LLC names in your state.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Is Your Name Already Taken?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Once you have a few <span data-term-id=\"54203204\">LLC name ideas<\/span> on your shortlist, a little due diligence can help you find out if those names are still available. This can take some time to research, but it is worth the effort. You would not want to build up a business only to have to change your name because a competitor accuses you of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/intellectual-property\/trademark-infringement-law-q-a.html\">trademark infringement.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To check whether the names you are considering are in use, you should conduct searches on the national and local levels:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Do a quick internet search of your name to see if any identical or similar names pop up immediately. With many businesses going the ecommerce route, this is essential.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Search the United States Patent and Trademark Office\u2019s (USPTO\u2019s)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspto.gov\/trademarks\/search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trademark database<\/a>. This database also shows whether trademarks are still in use or abandoned.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Check with your state\u2019s filing office to see if your name is taken. Many states have searchable online databases.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Trademark laws exist to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/intellectual-property\/the-likelihood-of-confusion-test.html\">prevent confusion<\/a>\u00a0in the marketplace. If two businesses provide similar products under similar names, the customer might think the same company makes them.<\/p>\n<p>Choosing an original name for your LLC helps your business stand out from the crowd. It also prevents trademark infringement and consumer confusion.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Are Your State\u2019s Naming Requirements?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The requirements for LLC names\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/register-your-business-name-state-resources.html\">vary by state<\/a>. In most states, the name must include a reference to the business being an LLC. Many companies accomplish this by adding \u201cLLC\u201d to the end of their name.<\/p>\n<p>Many states also have a list of words not allowed in LLC names. Those words are usually things like \u201cbank,\u201d \u201cuniversity,\u201d or \u201cinsurance.\u201d If you have a good reason for using a word on your state\u2019s restricted word list, you may be able to get an exception with additional paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>Most states also do not allow names that could confuse the business with a governmental agency. You can usually find more information about restricted names from your local Department of State or Secretary of State.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check <span data-term-id=\"54203209\">Social Media<\/span> Availability<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you plan to use\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/consumer\/online-scams\/social-media-privacy-laws.html\"><span data-term-id=\"54203209\">social media<\/span><\/a>\u00a0outlets such as Facebook, Twitter (X), or Instagram for advertising, it is a good idea to check to see if some version of your preferred name is available before you commit to it.<\/p>\n<p>If the name\u2019s <span data-term-id=\"54203209\">social media<\/span> handle is already claimed, you should check the availability of the other names on your list.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Check <span data-term-id=\"54203210\">Domain <\/span><span data-term-id=\"54203226\">Name<\/span><span data-term-id=\"54203226\"> Availability<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Even if you plan to do business mainly from a brick-and-mortar storefront, you should still have a good website. A good online presence helps your customers locate you, get in touch with you, and learn your hours of operation. Keep in mind that your <span data-term-id=\"54203210\">domain name<\/span> could affect how highly you rank on search engine results.<\/p>\n<p>To check for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/business-operations\/how-does-a-website-get-a-domain-name.html\">domain availability<\/a>, you should find a domain registrar online. Their services can help you check your name\u2019s availability before registering it. If your name is not available in any format as a domain, you might have to go back to the drawing board and try another name.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have a <span data-term-id=\"54203211\">business name idea<\/span> that fills all the legal and business requirements, you can\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/smallbusiness\/starting-a-business\/registering-the-name-of-your-business.html\">register<\/a>\u00a0it and get to work. With your <span data-term-id=\"54203212\">new business<\/span> name, you can start printing and distributing your business cards. It would be best if you also began populating your website and growing your <span data-term-id=\"54203209\">social media<\/span> presence so any <span data-term-id=\"54203215\">potential customer<\/span> can find you.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>An Attorney Can Help You Choose a Unique Business Name<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Starting and naming a <span data-term-id=\"54203212\">new business<\/span> is an exciting and busy time.
