The last thing you want to do is start your business name registration process, and find out that your business name is already taken.
Checking business name availability needs to be hand in hand with your planning about how to create a business name. Businesses often select names that are specific to their industry. For example, jewelry business names tend to include terms like jewelers, while notary business names often include professional phrases.
As a business owner, you need to make sure your business entity has a name that defines it, with strong local name recognition – and a business name that has not yet been used.
