If the headache of a potential lawsuit isn’t enough to deal with, after discovering a duplicate name, you’ll have to rebrand- meaning replacing signage, business cards, advertising, and the like- which can be very expensive, especially as a new business.
Start with a search on your favorite search engine to see if the name is taken. You can do a search of your state’s Secretary of State office. Here are some helpful links for states in the Northeast:
Connecticut Business Records Search
Maine Department of the Secretary of State Corporate Name Search
Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth Corporations Division
New Hampshire Secretary of State Business Name Lookup
New Jersey Business Name Search
New York Department of State Corporation and Business Entity Database
Rhode Island Department of State Entity Search
Vermont Secretary of State Corporations Division
Other places to check to see if a potential name has been taken are web domains and social media.

Looking for insurance for your new gift shop? Our third-generation insurance agency can help show you your options. We work with dozens of insurance carriers and have been helping entrepreneurs for decades. Getting in touch with a local professional is as simple as filling out our form here. You can also find a list of phone numbers for all of our offices here.
General liability insurance helps to provide your shop with protection for certain third-party liability claims related to your business’s operations (for instance, if someone was injured resulting from a trip and fall accident inside your shop).Some general liability policies also include coverage for certain types of personal and advertising injuries, such as claims for defamation or copyright infringement.
Commercial property insurance can help protect your business against certain types of physical damage to your building and equipment. Regardless of whether you own the building or lease the space, commercial property insurance is a wise choice.
If you are just getting started with your gift shop, a BOP, or Business Owner’s Policy, maybe be worth considering. A BOP is a policy that combines both general liability and property insurance. If you are looking to select these coverages, a business owner’s policy may be more cost effective than purchasing these coverages separately
If your gift shop has employees, workers’ compensation may be a state requirement. It can help cover medical bills for employees who are injured or become ill because of work related events. It can also help cover a portion of lost wages.
