Free business name generator
Type a word or two about your business and get instant name ideas, with live domain availability so you can see which ones you can actually have.
Your name ideas
Our tip: get both the .co.uk and the .com. If your business takes off and someone else owns the .com, customers could end up on their website, and buying it back later can cost far more than registering it today.
We only show names where the domain is available right now (or both domains, if you've chosen .co.uk and .com). Availability is checked live and can change quickly. Prices are first-year prices; renewal prices are shown before checkout.
How to choose a great business name
A few quick checks before you fall in love with a name.
Keep it short
Short names are easier to remember, type and fit on a logo, van or sign.
Say it out loud
Could someone spell it after hearing it once on the phone? Avoid odd spellings.
Get the .co.uk and .com
Secure both, so nobody else can use your name online if your business takes off.
Check trade marks
Search the GOV.UK trade mark register so you don't clash with an existing brand.
Common questions
Is the business name generator free?
Yes. You can generate as many names as you like, with no sign-up. You only pay if you decide to register a domain.
How does it work?
It combines your words with popular naming styles, such as adding a location, a descriptive word or a modern ending, then checks whether a matching domain is available.
If the domain is available, is the name free to use?
Not necessarily. Domain availability doesn't mean the name isn't used or protected elsewhere. Check the trade mark register and Companies House before you commit.
Should I register both the .co.uk and .com?
We recommend it. If your business grows and someone else owns the matching .com, customers may end up on their website by mistake, and buying it later can be expensive or impossible. Registering both now costs very little, and you can point the second one at your main website.
Should I register my domain straight away?
If you like a name and the domain is free, it's worth securing it. Good domains can be registered by someone else at any time, and it costs very little to hold one while you decide.
