Frequently Asked Questions

How does NameGenie.ai work?

NameGenie.ai is a 3-in-1 solution that uses AI to generate creative brand names based on your business description. It then performs both domain availability checks and UK business registration verification, so you can find a name that's legally available on all fronts.

What does the UK business check do?

Our UK business check verifies if your brand name is already registered with Companies House in the United Kingdom. This helps you avoid potential trademark conflicts and legal issues when setting up your business. We perform an exact match check to show you if the exact brand name is already taken.

Are the domains actually available?

We do a real-time check against domain registries to verify availability. However, domain availability can change quickly, so we recommend registering your domain promptly. Always verify availability at the registrar before purchasing.

How much do domains cost?

Domain prices vary based on the TLD (Top-Level Domain). Standard domains like .com typically range from $10-20 per year, while premium or speciality domains can cost more. We display estimated pricing information directly in the results.

Can I save or share my results?

Yes! NameGenie.ai allows you to save your search history locally and share your results via a unique URL. This makes it easy to collaborate with team members or revisit your favourite brand name options later.

Is the UK business check legally binding?

While our UK business check provides valuable information, it is not a substitute for professional legal advice or a formal trademark search. It's designed to be an initial screening tool to identify potential naming conflicts in the UK. We recommend consulting with a legal professional before finalising your brand name.

Three steps, one afternoon to start them

  1. 1. Name it, with the domain to prove it

    Describe your idea and NameGenie generates brand names, checks the domain at the registrar in real time, and checks Companies House for exact company name matches. You leave this step with a name every register can accept.

    Domain from about £10 a year

  2. 2. Make it a limited company

    Our formation partner files with Companies House online, usually the same day. You get the certificate of incorporation, and your name is protected on the public register from that moment.

    From about £13 plus the £50 Companies House fee

  3. 3. Put it online in 7 days

    Launch Site by OnPoint, offered exclusively with NameGenie: a designed one page website with your content placed and polished, a contact form, hosting set up, and your new domain connected.

    £295 fixed

Why the name comes first

Your name has to clear three registers: the domain registry, Companies House, and your customers' memory. Most founders pick a name, then discover the domain is taken or an identical company already exists, and start again. NameGenie runs those checks while you are still choosing, so the name you fall for is one you can actually own.

Generate names above, and when you pick one you will see the next steps for that exact name: its domain at the registrar, and company registration with the name carried through.

Questions founders ask

How much does it all cost?
Around £320 all in for the first year: the domain from about £10, company registration from about £13 plus the £50 Companies House fee, and the Launch Site website at £295 fixed. Every part is optional, so you can take only the steps you need.
How long does it take?
The name and domain take minutes. Company formation is usually approved the same working day. The website goes live within 7 working days of you sending your content.
Do I need a limited company to start?
No. Many people start as sole traders and incorporate later. A limited company separates your personal finances from the business and protects the name on the public register, which is why many founders form one early.
Can I use my own web designer?
Of course. The domain and company steps work on their own. The Launch Site offer is there so you can get online quickly without briefing an agency from scratch.

Go deeper on each stage: check a company name, register a limited company, get a business domain.
