Follow government naming guidelines
Most states require business names to:
Be distinguishable from existing names
Avoid restricted terms like "bank" or "insurance" unless you meet specific requirements
Avoid inappropriate or misleading language
Check your business name’s availability
Once you’ve found the perfect name, make sure it’s available to use.

Search for existing businesses
Perform a business name search using online tools or your state’s business registry to confirm that no one else is using the name in your area. Choosing a similar name to a business nearby can confuse customers and affect your brand reputation.
Example: If "Urban Roots Studio" is already registered in your region, avoid confusion by choosing something distinctive, like "Urban Sprouts Studio" or "The Root Collective."
Check trademarks
A trademark protects your brand name from being used by others. Even if a name isn’t in use locally, it may be trademarked nationally. LegalZoom can help you run a comprehensive trademark search to avoid issues.
Reserve the name right away
A name available today might not be tomorrow. Many states let you reserve a name in advance, so register early to secure it, and consider filing for a trademark for additional legal protection.
Every industry has its own naming conventions, and finding the right name can depend on the products and services you offer, and the audience you serve.
