Many business owners name the business after themselves, while others name their business for an idea that appeals to them. Some business owners think of a name that's catchy or a play on words. Whatever you do, you should make sure the name you choose is memorable because if people can remember the name of your business, they'll be more likely to call you.

The name of your LLC should also be meaningful and original. When thinking about potential business names, you might try using alliteration or words that start with the same letter. It's also a good idea to make the name somewhat short so that it's easier to remember. It should also be easy to spell.

These days, one common trend is to combine words and capitalize each word that's combined, meaning you have capital letters in the middle of the word. You may also want to avoid slang or drop a letter from a word to make the name unique and memorable. It can be tempting to include a slang word because it's trendy, but that word probably won't be trendy anymore a few years from now.

… No matter what name you settle on, there is always a risk that someone else has gotten to it first. Thus, you must run the name through the search tool on the secretary of state's website in your state.
