Terms and Conditions

Check Company Name provides tools and information to help users check business name, company name, domain name and brand availability.

Our services may include:

• Company name availability checks
• Business name checks
• Domain name availability checks
• Brand name suggestions
• Similar-name checks
• Sensitive-word or restricted-word guidance
• Social media handle checks, where available
• Links or referrals to third-party business setup services
• Links or referrals to domain registration, hosting, banking, company formation or related services

Our website is intended to provide helpful guidance only. It does not provide legal, financial, tax, trade mark, company formation or professional advice.

Any results shown on Check Company Name are for guidance only.

We do not guarantee that:

• A company name is legally available
• A business name can be used safely
• A domain name is available for registration
• A trade mark is available
• A social media handle is available
• A name will be accepted by Companies House
• A name will not infringe someone else's rights
• A name will remain available after you search it
• A third-party provider will accept, approve or register your chosen name

Availability can change at any time. A name, domain or handle that appears available during a search may later become unavailable.

Before relying on any name, you should carry out your own checks and seek legal or professional advice where appropriate.

Where our website provides company name checks, these may be based on public information, third-party sources, Companies House data, API services or other availability checks.

We are not Companies House, and we are not an official government service.

Companies House may reject or question a proposed company name for reasons including, but not limited to:

• The name being the same as or too similar to an existing company name
• Use of sensitive words or expressions
• Use of restricted terms without approval
• A misleading impression of connection with government, public authorities or regulated bodies
• Offensive or inappropriate wording
• Other legal or regulatory reasons

Our results do not override Companies House decisions.

Where our website provides domain name availability checks, those checks may rely on third-party providers, registrars, APIs, WHOIS data or other domain availability services.

We do not guarantee that any domain name shown as available can be registered.

Domain name availability can change quickly. A domain may be taken, reserved, restricted, blocked, priced as a premium domain or otherwise unavailable by the time you attempt to register it.

Any domain registration will be subject to the relevant registrar's terms and conditions.

Check Company Name does not provide a full trade mark search.

A company name or domain name being available does not mean that the name is safe to use as a brand.

You are responsible for checking whether your proposed name may infringe any existing trade marks, passing off rights, copyright, design rights or other intellectual property rights.

You should consider checking the UK Intellectual Property Office trade mark register and seeking legal advice before using or investing in a brand name.

Where we provide social media handle checks, these are also for guidance only.

Social media platforms may restrict, reserve, suspend, hide or block certain usernames or handles. A handle may appear available but may still be unavailable when you try to register it.

We do not guarantee availability on any third-party platform, including but not limited to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, X or any other platform.

Each social media platform has its own terms, policies and registration rules.

Our website may link to third-party services, including but not limited to:

• Company formation providers
• Domain registrars
• Website hosting providers
• Business banking providers
• Accountancy providers
• Legal service providers
• Trade mark search providers
• Business setup platforms
• Software or marketing tools

If you click a third-party link or use a third-party service, you will be dealing directly with that third party.

We are not responsible for:

• Third-party websites
• Third-party prices
• Third-party availability
• Third-party decisions
• Third-party errors
• Third-party service quality
• Third-party terms and policies
• Any loss caused by your use of a third-party service
