Check the .com first
Most customers type .com without thinking. If yours is gone, a short word added (get, hq, your trade) often frees it up.
Grab your country’s domain
A local domain like .com.au, .co.uk or .de tells nearby customers you’re local, and it’s usually easier to get.
Lock in the handles
Open each social link. If the page says it isn’t available, the handle is free: sign up the same day you buy the domain.
Check the trademark register
A free domain doesn’t mean the name is free to use. Search your country’s trademark office for the name in your industry.
What the results mean
Every check runs live against the domain registries’ own records (RDAP) and the internet’s address book (DNS), so it’s as fresh as it gets.
| Result | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Free | The registry has no record of the domain | Register it today. Good names go fast |
| Looks free | Nobody runs it, but this registry can’t confirm it | Search it at a registrar to be sure |
| Taken | Someone owns it, even if no website shows | Try a close variation or a different ending |

Questions
How do I check if a business name is available?
Type it above. The checker looks up the .com, your country’s domain and a popular alternative live with the domain registries, suggests close .com variations if it’s taken, and links each social handle so you can see if it’s free.
Is the business name checker free?
Yes. It’s free with no sign-up and no limit on names. We don’t sell the names you check or register them before you can.
Does a free domain mean I can use the name?
Not always. A domain only shows the web address is free. Before you commit, search your country’s business register and trademark office for the same name in your industry.
Why does a domain show as taken when there’s no website?
Many domains are owned but not used, held by investors or reserved by a business that hasn’t launched yet. You can sometimes buy them from the owner, but a close variation is usually quicker and cheaper.
Which domain ending should I choose?
Get the .com if you can, because it’s what most people type. A local ending like .com.au, .co.uk or .de builds trust nearby, and .ai or .io suit tech startups. Many businesses buy two and point one to the other.
How do I check social media handles?
Open each handle link. If the profile page says it isn’t available or doesn’t exist, the handle is free. Grab every one you want on the same day, so nobody takes them after you launch.
Can Zenn make a logo for my new name?
Yes. Tap Show my logos and Zenn designs dozens of logos for the name in seconds, with symbols made by a real design studio. The Brand kit adds business cards, social posts and a brand guide.
