Check each registry and mark the result. Green = proceed. Red = choose another name.
Search your state's Secretary of State database, the USPTO trademark database (TESS), and check domain availability. Also search Google to see if anyone is operating under that name.
An LLC name is your legal entity name registered with the state. A DBA (Doing Business As) or fictitious business name lets you operate under a different name than your registered entity.
State registration only protects your name within that state. For broader protection, file a federal trademark with the USPTO. Domain registration doesn't provide name protection.
Two businesses in different states can have the same name unless one has a federal trademark. If you want exclusive nationwide rights, register a federal trademark.
