Resource · Free with every order
There is no live search box on this page, and we won't pretend there is. Name checks are done by our team against the state registry as part of your order — free, with every plan.
Start — name check includedIn the guided flow you tell us what you want to call your company — plus a backup choice if you have one.
Our team checks your name against existing companies in your formation state for exact and confusingly similar matches.
Restricted words (like "bank" or "insurance"), required designators (LLC / Inc.), and obvious trademark conflicts we can spot.
If your first choice fails, we tell you why and file under your backup — or a new name you approve. We never silently rename your company.
Changing one generic word is often not enough. "Summit Media LLC" vs "Summit Media Group LLC" can still be rejected as too similar — invent a word or combine two real ones.
Send us two or three options in order of preference. A backup name keeps your filing inside the SLA instead of restarting the clock.
Words like bank, insurance, university, or trust need special approvals in most states. If your business truly is one of those, tell us upfront.
Your company name and your domain do not have to match exactly, but close is better for trust. A2Z orders include a .com registration — see A2Z Global Business Setup.
Passing the state check does not clear trademarks. If you plan a big brand, a proper trademark search by an attorney is worth it — we will say so when it matters.
LLCs end in "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company"; corporations in "Inc.", "Corp." or similar. We handle the correct form for your structure and state.
Start the guided flow — the name check is free with every order, and your filing SLA only starts when you approve the name.
