Preliminary guidance
What this checker looks for
Irish company name availability depends on more than spelling. Company name restrictions in Ireland can involve suffixes, sensitive words, distinctiveness, and suitability for public business use. This free company name checker helps you spot common issues before you begin your formation.
Restricted or sensitive terms
Highlights terms that may require additional review, permission, or professional guidance before registration.
Weak distinction words
Flags common words such as Group, Services, Solutions, or Ireland that may not make a name distinctive enough on their own.
Potentially inappropriate language
Names containing offensive, abusive, or unsuitable wording may not be appropriate for professional registration or public-facing business use.
Generic names
Identifies names that are too broad or generic to be useful for a professional company registration.
