Four Checks Before You File, Print or Wrap
Each one is a free public search. Do them in this order, and keep a note of what you found and when.
- 1
Your state's business register
Search your Secretary of State's business entity database (a few states use a business agency instead). The SBA notes an entity name on file stops anyone else in the state from operating under the same entity name. Treat a clean search as a first pass: California calls its online search preliminary, reserves a name for 60 days, and does not check names against trademarks or fictitious business names. Using a DBA? Most states require you to register it.
- 2
The USPTO trademark register
Search the USPTO's Trademark Search for your name and for names that sound, look or mean the same, especially on cleaning and exterior services. The USPTO says marks don't have to be identical to be confusingly similar. Its examining attorney checks only the federal database, so state trademark databases and the web are yours to search.
- 3
The domain
Look up the .com you would put on the truck. The SBA notes a domain doesn't have to match your legal name, and once you register it no one else can use it while you keep it. If the plain version is taken, find out who holds it before you go further.
- 4
The name on Google Maps
Search the name on Google Maps in your area. Your profile name should be the real-world name on your storefront, website and paperwork, and Google does not allow taglines, service descriptions or location details tacked onto it. Decide now whether the service word is in the name. Setting up the profile itself.
Three Tests for How the Name Works on the Job
The town test
A town in the name tells local homeowners you are local, and it pins you to that town. When you bid a property manager's sites in the next county, or a fleet that parks in three cities, a one-town name reads as the small local option. A region, a distinctive word or your own surname travels further. The generator marks every name that carries your town.
The truck test
Your name gets read from the next lane, at speed. Keep it to two or three words with the service word in it, and give the phone number and website their own lines on the wrap. A name you have to spell out on the phone will be misspelled in a search box.
The bid test
A commercial buyer meets your name on a proposal, a certificate of insurance and a W-9 before they meet your work. On the W-9, a sole proprietor or a single-member LLC taxed as a disregarded entity (the default) writes the owner's name on line 1 and the business name on line 2, so the name on the bid should be the one on your paperwork. Read it aloud as "prepared by" on a proposal to a retail center's property manager. If it sounds like a weekend side job, keep looking. How commercial contracts are won.
Your Name Goes on Every Quote You Send
Once the name is settled, it heads every bid. In SurfaceMeasure you add your logo and business details once. Then you search a property's address, trace the parking lot or the building's flatwork on satellite imagery, and price the square footage at your rate.
The quote PDF carries your name, the aerial with your outline and the price, and the customer accepts it from a link. You can bid a retail center's lot before you drive out to it. Try it on your next lot with the trial. Card required, cancel anytime.
Business Name Questions
The SBA does not list an LLC as a requirement. If you register no other structure, you are automatically a sole proprietor, and the SBA notes a sole proprietor can be held personally liable for the business's debts and obligations. An LLC protects you from personal liability in most instances, and the SBA calls it a good choice for medium- or higher-risk businesses. An LLC is registered with your state under its name, so settle the name first, then file.
Names that say what you do. Google Business Profile says your profile name should reflect the real-world name on your storefront, website and paperwork, and it does not allow service descriptions added to that name. So the only way "Pressure Washing" or "Fleet Washing" appears in the name on your Maps listing is if it is part of the business's real name. For commercial work, a name that reads like a vendor (Property Services, Fleet Washing, Lot Care) tells a property manager the scope before they call.
A distinctive word plus the work, short enough to say on the phone: Blacktop Lot Care, Convoy Fleet Washing, Porchlight Soft Wash. The distinctive word is also the part worth protecting. The USPTO describes invented, arbitrary and suggestive words as strong trademarks and descriptive or generic words as weak ones. In a name like Blacktop Lot Care, the descriptive half tells customers what you do and the distinctive half is what sets you apart.
Only inside your state. The SBA says an entity name stops anyone else in the state from operating under the same entity name, while a federal trademark is what stops others in the same or a similar industry across the United States from using it. State filings are not trademark checks either: California says it does not check names against trademark registrations, and Florida says a fictitious name registration grants no rights to the name.
In most states, yes. The SBA says most states require you to register a DBA (doing business as) name if you use one, that a DBA does not give legal protection by itself, and that several businesses can share one DBA in a state. Florida, for example, requires the fictitious name to be registered before you do business under it and advertised once in a newspaper in your county.
No. The SBA says your domain name does not need to match your legal name, trademark or DBA, and once you register it no one else can use it for as long as you keep it. A domain that matches the name on the truck is easier for a customer to type, so look it up before you settle on the name.
Only if it is part of the name you actually use. Google's guidelines say the profile name should reflect the business's real-world name as used on its storefront, website and stationery, and they list service descriptions and location details among the things not to add. If you want the service word on your listing, put it in the name you register and paint on the truck.
