How do I check to see if a company name is already registered?

You want to check with the Division of Corporations within your state, however another big concern is to also check existing trademarks with the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  Why you may ask?  Even though a company and its name, which are created by the laws of the respective state, may not be in direct conflict with any other company of that state, you may run into problems later with trademark issues of other companies from other states with similar names.  Trademarks are usually registered with the USPTO and they provide a search engine online at uspto.gov .  It is worth checking, to avert future lawsuits of trademark dilution or unsavory business practices with regard to trademark infringement of a company that you did not know had a similar name or logo, albeit you should have known in terms of the law when such trademarks are federally registered.  Remember, companies are created by each state, and your state will only check to see if that company name is registered in the state; so be prudent and check the trademarks of other companies!!!

The Better Business Bureau is a great place to check into a company's background.  You can see if people have logged complaints against the company in the past.  Use the link below to go to their website.  Unfortunately, if a company is new, it may not have been reported yet.  \n\nMy rule of thumb is the old adage that if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is :)

Your question is not too clear but it sounds to me as if you're just starting your business & need advice on that.\n\nPlease see below for links pertaining to the new business owner.\n\nPrior to investing your time, money & effort into a name, it is strongly advised that comprehensive research be conducted to ensure that the name you're interested in is truly available. \n\nThis entails searching the pending & registered Federal and State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nIf you have more specific questions, please edit your question & I'll try to help you further.

if the companies are based in USA. then you can do a google search by phone number, that'll give you their address.\n\nthe other thing is that if you have their website address, then go to http://www.arin.net and enter the address. then look for the registrar information. that'll give you to whome that website is registered to and where he/she is located. then based on that you can find the company location.\n\nor, if u have the company website address, you can always look up their 'contacts?"

Search your state website, then federal trademarks or trade names; check with local BBC and Chamber of Commerce; State Comptroller site, etc. Start search at local and state level, then search nationally. Use several  search engines as some will find different sites. Good luck.

Do a search at the Patent and Trademark office to see if the name has been trademarked. \n\nHowever, if they never registered the name, it will not be listed there. That being said, if they haven't registered their name, then chances are they won't have the lawyers to do anything about it.
