A human search of the official record, not a keyword match.
The name you want, the state you are forming in, and where to send the answer. Thirty seconds, no account.
Our team checks the state's own database for exact matches and for the near-identical names that make registries reject a filing, the part automated lookups get wrong.
Available or taken, typically within one business day. If it is free, we can file it as your LLC the same day.
Every state runs a public database of registered companies. These are the official search portals, no login needed.
Yes, completely. We check the registry and email you the result with no charge and no obligation to form with us.
You can, and the links above take you straight there. The catch is that states reject names that are merely too similar to an existing one, and similarity rules vary by state. We check for those near-matches too, so an "available" answer actually holds up at filing time.
No. A search only tells you the current status. The name is yours once your formation is filed, or once you file a name reservation in states that offer one. If it is free, move quickly.
Small changes often work: a different structure word, an added descriptor, or a fresh direction from our business name generator. You can also register a different legal name and trade under the brand you wanted as a DBA.
Not by itself. State availability and federal trademarks are separate systems. If the brand matters beyond your state, run a trademark search and consider a trademark registration.
Availability changes daily. Brio forms your LLC for $1 plus the state fee, paperwork included.
