Common LLC name questions.
Search state records, check trademarks, and let the filing authority make the final decision.
Does this prove my LLC name is available?
No. This is a first-pass search. Only the state filing authority can reserve, accept, or reject an LLC name, and public records may not include every pending or protected name.
What does the free check include?
It reviews the name format, searches published state records in Colorado, Connecticut, New York, and Oregon, checks the matching .com record, and links to the correct state and USPTO searches.
Why does my state require a manual search?
Most states do not publish a dataset that this tool can search safely. For those states, we check the name format and send you to the correct government registry to search the records yourself.
Is an LLC search the same as a trademark search?
No. State business records and trademarks answer different questions. A state may accept a name that still conflicts with a trademark or an established brand.
Should I include “LLC” in the name?
You can enter the name with or without LLC. The checker removes common entity endings when it compares records and shows a filing-style version in the result.
