How to Choose Candy Company Names
Choosing a candy brand name is a process that requires some thought. You’ll want to:
- Choose a name that stands out.
- Check to see if the domain name is available.
- Check the USPTO for the candy name brand.
- Register your business.
Choose a name that stands out
Candy brand names should appeal to your target audience, be easy to remember, and help people understand what makes your sweet treats different. Play with cute candy names for your sweet business to see which ones people like.
Pro Tip: Learn more about choosing a business name.
Check to see if the domain name is available
Once you’ve established your candy business name ideas are appealing to your target audience, it’s time to check domain availability. Just go to DreamHost to check if the domain name is available.
Check the USPTO for the candy name brand
The other place you’ll want to go to make sure the name of your candy company is available is the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
This is where name brands register their company name, logo, and other brand assets to provide intellectual property protection. You’ll want to search for the name you’re considering to make sure a competitor is not using it.
Register your business
Once you’ve established the candy business name is available, you’ll want to go to the Secretary of State website in your location to register your business. You can register as an LLC for liability protection or a corporation if you aspire to sell stock.
Candy company with the longest name
While researching famous candy companies, I came across Candy Warehouse’s list of suppliers. Most of the candy company names were between one and three words with an average of 1.79 words per candy name and 5.84 characters per word. That means the average name is 10.45 letters long.
If you want to name a candy company with a long name, the one to beat is “Can You Imagine That Confections” with 28 letters—nearly three times the average!
