How do I check if a business name is available?

To check if a business name is available, search it across four places: domain registries (.com, .io, .net), the major social platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube), your state's Secretary of State business registry, and the USPTO trademark database. Namecheckly checks the domains and social handles for any name at once, free and with no signup.

Common Questions

How do I check if a business name is available?

Type your business name into Namecheckly and click 'Check Now.' We instantly search domain registries (.com, .io, .ai, .net) and the major social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, and more) so you can see everywhere the name is free or already taken in a single search. For legal registration, you'll also want to search your state's Secretary of State business registry and the USPTO trademark database.

Is the Namecheckly business name checker free?

Yes, completely free. There's no signup, account, or credit card required, and you can check as many business names as you like with no limits.

What's the difference between checking a business name and registering it?

Namecheckly checks digital availability — the domain and social handles that make up your online brand. Legally registering a business name is a separate step handled through your state's Secretary of State (for an LLC or corporation) or a DBA filing, and trademark protection is granted by the USPTO. Check digital availability first so you don't register a legal name you can't use online.

What should I do if my business name is already taken?

If the name is taken, try a clean variation: add a prefix like 'get', 'try', or 'use', a suffix like 'hq', 'co', or 'app', or a different domain extension like .io or .co. Namecheckly lets you test variations instantly so you can find one that's available across both domains and social platforms.

Why should I check domain and social availability together?

A consistent brand needs the matching domain and the matching social handles. If your business name is free as a .com but already taken on Instagram and TikTok, your brand becomes fragmented across platforms. Checking everything at once ensures you can own a single, cohesive identity before you commit to the name.
