Business name generator
Get business name ideas in seconds. This free business name generator suggests company names that fit your trade and your town, in English or French, and checks the matching .ca and .com for you.
How this business name generator works
Pick what your business does, add a word you like and your town if you want a local name, then press Generate names. The generator mixes words that fit your trade with names from the Maritimes coast and forest, in English or in French. Every press gives you a new set of 24 ideas. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
Each idea shows the matching web address. Press Check the domain to see, live, whether the .ca and .com are still free.
What makes a good business name
- Easy to say and spell. If you have to spell it on the phone, customers will mistype it in a search.
- Says what you do, or is easy to remember. “Harbour Plumbing” explains itself; “Pipely” is short and catchy.
- Has a free domain. Check the .ca and the .com before you print anything.
- Works in both languages if you serve English and French customers.
- Is not already taken by another business near you. Search it on Google and Google Maps.
Before you register your business name
In Canada you register a business name with your province or territory (for example Service New Brunswick, Access Nova Scotia or the Registraire des entreprises in Quebec), or federally if you incorporate. Check that the name is free there too. A trademark search with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office is a good idea for a name you plan to grow.
