How do i find out if my prospective business name is available?

How do I find out if a business name is available in Maine?

  • Answer:

    I listed some links where you can do some preliminary name checking. However, please be aware that this is merely scratching the surface of what's out there. Only comprehensive research will tell you if the name is truly available. But, these links are free & a great place to start, so I'd try them out first. Comprehensive research consists of looking at marks that are similar in Sound, Appearance or Meaning in the pending & registered Federal AND State trademark files as well as the US National Common-Law files. There are other sites that offer free searching capabilities in conjunction with their commercial services, so I'm not able to post those links due to the Yahoo! TOS. You'll also want to check domain names & yellow pages, so simply do a search for "free domain name search" and "national yellowpages" and the appropriate links will pop up. Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Call your Secretary of State. They will be able to tell you. Then have them fax over the correct application or ask them for a web site you can print one off yourself.

you can either go online and go into the office of Corporations and Elections bureaus section and do a search or give them a call and they can tell you...you will find this information at www.maine.gov.
