Name Availability SearchesDetermining Whether Your Business Name is AvailableOne of the key steps in naming a business is to determine whether the name is available by conducting one or more name searches. Business name availability searches can take the form of a status search through the Secretary of State in one or more states or a trademark search of federal registrations through the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Comprehensive Trademark SearchConsider purchasing our comprehensive trademark search of federal, state and common law trademarks for $550.00. To process an order, we simply need payment authorization, the name or logo, and the category of goods to be searched. An attorney or legal advisor should still be consulted for assistance in interpreting the results of a search, as CorpAmerica does not provide legal advice regarding the potential for trademark infringement. To place an order for a comprehensive search, please contact an Business Specialist at 877-246-2462 or 302-636-5448. Business Name Status SearchesStatus searches of state business records are also utilized to locate exact matches for an intended business name. Because business name availability is determined on a state-by-state basis, a name search is usually conducted in each state in which the business may operate. CorpAmerica can assist in a status search of state records for a service fee of $50.00 per state in addition to the state fees. To conduct a status search across all states, our fee is $500.00. A status search will aid in determining business name availability by providing exact matches for the name you specify in the state(s) in question. To begin the process, we simply need to know your contact and payment information, the name to be searched, and the states to search. Please feel free to contact a Business Specialist at 877-246-2462 or 302-636-5448 to request a status search.
