Starting a business is exciting. You have ideas, energy, and vision. But before investing money in logo design, website development, or marketing — there are 3 very important checks every startup must complete.
At Kubest, we always guide our clients to complete these 3 steps before launching their brand.
1️⃣ Search Your Company Name on MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs)
Before finalizing your business name, you must check whether the name is already registered in India.
You can search your company name on:
Why this is important:
- Avoid legal conflicts
- Prevent name rejection during registration
- Ensure your business identity is unique
- Save time and government fees
If your desired name is already registered, you’ll need to modify it slightly.

2️⃣ Search Your Brand Name in IP India (Trademark Search)
Even if a company name is available, the brand name or logo might already be trademarked.
Search your brand name here:
Go to Public Search → Trademark Search and check:
- Exact match
- Similar sounding names
- Same business category (Class)
Why this matters:
- Protects your brand legally
- Prevents trademark objections
- Avoids future legal disputes
- Builds strong brand ownership
This step is extremely important before designing logos and packaging.

3️⃣ Search Domain Name Availability
Now check if your website domain is available.
You can search domain names on:
👉 https://www.hostinger.in
or any trusted domain provider like:
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap
- BigRock
Check for:
- .com availability
- .in availability
- Short & memorable domain
- Easy spelling
Why domain check is important:
- Website identity must match your brand
- Helps in SEO
- Builds trust
- Makes marketing easier
If domain is already taken, try small variations — but keep it simple and brand-friendly.
