I’m bouncing ideas for a clothing business (USA). Below are some points that I need help with:

  • Properly check if business/brand name is avail
  • Steps to secure business name if its avail
  • How to properly check if website/domain url is avail
  • What social media apps should I also check for name availablity: FB/IG/TikTok/Twitter (X)?

Also educate me on anything I’m not thinking about when thinking of a clothing business name.

Thanks

    You can search for US trademarks here.

    For your domain go daddy is fine.

    Do you research. When we started we didn’t do enough and operated under name for years. A few years later, once we had traction and a real business, a large US company (we are not US based) in a completely different industry threatened to sue us into the under verse, and we had to pivot and change names. not a fun task
