Company name and trade mark checker

This search tool will help you check that the company name or trade mark you are thinking of using for your business is not already registered or similar to one already existing.

You should look at your prospective company names and trade marks at the same time if you want to try to secure both for your business, and to check that you won't be infringing someone else's trade mark.

Our company name checker will provide you with an indication of the availability of your proposed company name. To make a more detailed search you should use the Companies House WebCHeck search facility.

Our trade mark checker directly searches the UK Intellectual Property Office database.
