Business Name Generator
Get name ideas for a new business from a word you like, your industry and your town, with a matching web address and a check for words that need permission in a company name.
About this tool
Type a word that says something about your business, pick an industry and a style, and keep pressing for more ideas. Descriptive names tell customers what you do straight away; invented names are easier to trademark and to find a free web address for; local names build trust with nearby customers. Save the ones you like and they stay on this device while you check them.
Before you settle on a name, search the Companies House register and the UK trade mark register, and check that the web address and social media handles are free; the .co.uk address shown is only a suggestion. Some words, such as Royal, British, Bank, Trust or Institute, can’t be used in a UK company or business name without permission, and the tool flags the most common ones. Say the name out loud and imagine it on a van or a sign: if people can spell it after hearing it once, it’s a keeper.
