FAQ

Common questions.

How does this generator work?
We combine your keywords with industry-appropriate prefixes, suffixes, modifiers, and structures (compound words, alliteration, descriptive endings) to create brandable name candidates. All client-side; nothing leaves your browser.
Are these names available?
The generator does not guarantee availability. After picking favorites, you should: (1) check state availability with your Secretary of State, (2) search the USPTO trademark database, (3) check .com domain availability, (4) Google the name in your industry.
Can I trademark a generated name?
Possibly, yes. The generator creates novel combinations. Whether your specific result is registrable as a trademark depends on uniqueness in your industry class. We file federal trademarks for $249 per class plus USPTO fees.
Do I need to use one of these names?
No. The generator is a brainstorming tool. Use the ideas as inspiration or starting points.
What makes a good business name?
Short (1-3 words), easy to spell when heard, distinctive (not generic), available as .com, and clear of trademark conflicts in your industry class.
Should the name include "LLC"?
For the legal entity name on state filings, yes (state law requires LLC, L.L.C., Limited Liability Company, or similar). For your public brand name, no, you can drop the "LLC" or file a DBA without it.

How it works

How we deliver, end-to-end.

Four-step path from request to confirmation. State and IRS turnaround varies; our steps run in parallel where possible to compress the timeline.

1

Intake + scope

You tell us what you need through a short intake form (or a call for complex matters). We confirm scope, surface any gating issues (deadlines, missing documents, entity status), and quote any state fees that pass through at cost.

2

Prepare + verify

Our specialists draft the filing, verify entity details against state databases, run internal QA, and route any items needing your sign-off. You see drafts before anything gets submitted.

3

File with the authority

We submit directly to the state Secretary of State, FinCEN, IRS, USPTO, or whichever authority your filing requires. We pay state fees at cost and track the submission identifier in your account.

4

Confirmation + vault

Stamped certificate, IRS notice, or filing receipt arrives in your SOC 2 encrypted document vault the moment we receive it. Next filing deadline auto-added to your compliance calendar where applicable.
