How to Choose a Name for Your Franchise

Here are some key factors to consider when choosing your franchise name.

1. Check Name Availability

When you come up with name options, make sure that they’re available and stand out from competitor names.

Do a business name search on your state’s Secretary of State’s website to see if the name is available. The search will also show similar names, so you can ensure that your name is unique in your state.

Also, check the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s website to confirm that the name is not trademarked.

2. Check Your State’s Business Name Regulations

Each state has rules regarding business names, often restricting words such as “bank” or “university.” Some states have stricter rules than others; for example, Michigan has a long list of prohibited words. You should be able to find your state’s rules on the Secretary of State’s website.

Keep in mind that franchises are connected to a brand, and the names can be quite limited. 

Upon creating an LLC, it’s mandatory to have either “LLC,” “limited liability company,” or “limited liability” as part of its official name. This ensures clarity and compliance with naming conventions for such entities.

3. Choose a Name with Relevance

Your name should be relevant to your franchise. It should also reflect your business mission. Often, if you write down a description of your brand identity, you’ll come up with words that have the potential to be used in your business name.

4. Keep It Simple

Your name should be easy to say so that it’s more memorable. It should also be easy to spell so that people can search for your franchise business online. 

5. Short and Unique

Short, unique, and catchy names tend to stand out. Think Google, which is so catchy and unique that it’s become a verb!

6. Get Feedback

Family and friends can give you an outside perspective on your franchise business name. They can offer suggestions and give you feedback on the names you have in mind.

7. Allow for Expansion

As your business grows, you may expand into new product or service lines, so you don’t want a business name that’s too narrow. For example, you shouldn’t use “Beef Bites” for your name if you plan to expand your menu. It’s better to use something more universal like “GastroGrove.”

The name should also have timeless appeal. Don’t try to capture a trend — trends continuously change, and you don’t want a name that could become outdated. 

8. .com is Best

Domain names ending in .com generally reflect more credibility, so make sure this domain is available for your chosen business name. Use our Domain Name Search Tool to find an available website name and get the perfect domain name for your business.

9. Use Keywords to Boost SEO

You’ll want your name to be SEO-friendly to boost your organic search engine rankings. Your franchise will be connected to the franchisor’s brand, but you can get creative with the names. So, think about what your clients might be looking for online, and use keywords such as “coffee shop,” “bistro,” and “burger place” in your online content.

10. How Does it Sound?

Say the name out loud to see how it rolls off the tongue. Is it pleasant? Does it evoke positivity? You’d be surprised how different a name sounds when you say it compared to when you think it. 

11. Appeal to Emotions

Names that evoke positive emotions can create a connection with your target customers. You want them to feel good about your franchise business. 

Common Questions

Can I choose any name for my franchise location?

Typically, franchisees are required to use the franchisor’s brand name to maintain consistency and brand recognition. However, there may be some flexibility in adding location-specific tags, subject to the franchisor’s approval.

How important is trademarking a franchise name?

Trademarking a franchise name is crucial. It legally protects the brand and ensures that no other business can use the same or a confusingly similar name. This is typically handled by the franchisor.

Can a franchise name affect customer perception?

Absolutely. The franchise name is often the first point of contact with potential customers and plays a significant role in shaping their initial perceptions. A well-chosen name can convey quality, trust, and appeal.

What should I do if the franchise name I want is already taken?

If the name is already taken, it’s essential to think of alternatives. Consider names that are equally catchy and representative of your brand values. It’s also advisable to conduct a thorough trademark search to ensure your new name is legally available.
