A name that sounds right still needs to clear a few hurdles before it's yours. Here's what to check before you move forward.

Check trademark availability. Search the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) database at tmsearch.uspto.gov to confirm no one has already registered the name federally. Include variations and similar-sounding names in your search — the USPTO recommends checking misspellings and phonetic equivalents to catch potential conflicts.

Check your state's business registry. Federal trademark clearance is separate from state entity name registration. Each state maintains its own registry through the Secretary of State's office. A name can be federally clear but already taken in your state.

Check domain and social handle availability. If the .com domain and your preferred social handles aren't available, you'll either need to get creative with the name or accept a less direct web presence. It's worth knowing this before you file anything.

A name that clears all 3 checks is ready to protect. Forming an LLC or corporation reserves your business name in your state and gives you a legal foundation to build on.
