To check if a business name is already in use in your country, follow these steps:
Conduct a business name search: Use government databases or business registry sites to see if your name is registered with local authorities.
Check trademarks: Search for existing trademarks using your countrys intellectual property office database (e.g., USPTO in the U.S.).
Domain availability: Check whether the name is available as a website domain.
Social media handles: Ensure the name isnt already being used on major social media platforms. Completing these steps ensures youre legally clear to use the name.
