Company Name Service in Austria
Secure the right name. Build the right identity.
Choosing the right company name isn’t just about branding. In Austria, it’s a legal requirement to ensure your proposed name complies with the Commercial Register standards and isn’t already in use. Our Company Name Service helps you navigate this critical step with confidence, speed, and accuracy.
Whether you’re forming a GmbH, OG, or branch office, we make sure your company name reflects your vision—and meets all legal criteria.
What we do
Selecting the right company name is a key step in starting your business in Austria. We make sure your chosen name meets all legal and linguistic standards, setting a solid foundation for registration.
Preliminary name check
We conduct an in-depth availability search through the Austrian Commercial Register to ensure your preferred name is not already registered or in conflict.
Compliance verification
Your company name must meet specific legal guidelines, including proper use of legal suffixes (e.g., GmbH), clarity of business activity, and linguistic standards. We review and advise accordingly.
Name reservation support
For clients who need more time, we assist in reserving the approved name while the rest of the registration process is underway.
Multilingual guidance
We help you assess whether your name works effectively across languages—especially if your business targets international markets.
With our expert support, your company name in Austria will be compliant, distinctive, and ready for registration—setting your business up for a strong start.
Its significance
Choosing the right company name is more than just a creative step—it’s a crucial part of building a legitimate and lasting business. A rejected name can delay your entire registration process, while one too similar to another entity may lead to legal issues or market confusion. We ensure your business begins with a name that’s compliant, available, and aligned with your long-term brand vision.
Available
We perform a detailed search through the Austrian Commercial Register to confirm your desired name is unregistered and unique. This eliminates the risk of duplication or rejection during the registration stage. Ensuring name availability early helps you move forward smoothly and confidently.
Legally compliant
Your company name must follow Austrian naming laws, including correct suffixes like GmbH and accurate reflection of your business purpose. Our team carefully reviews and advises on every aspect of compliance. This prevents potential setbacks, fines, or enforced name changes later.
Distinctive
A strong, distinctive name is key to standing out in a competitive market. We assess your name’s originality and ensure it conveys professionalism and credibility. This builds a foundation for brand recognition and long-term success.
Aligned with your brand identity
We evaluate how well your chosen name represents your company’s values, mission, and market position. Our experts provide feedback to ensure it resonates with your target audience and business goals. This helps you create a name that truly reflects who you are as a brand.
Culturally and linguistically appropriate
If your business serves international markets, we ensure your company name works effectively across different languages and cultures. Our linguistic review helps avoid unintended meanings or misunderstandings abroad. This ensures your brand maintains a positive and professional image everywhere it operates.
Future-proof and scalable
We help you select a name that can grow with your business and adapt to future expansion. Our experts assess its suitability for trademarks, domains, and future product lines. This future-oriented approach ensures your name remains relevant as your company evolves.
With our expert name verification and branding support, you can be sure your company name is available, compliant, and ready for growth. We handle the legal checks and brand analysis—so you can launch your business in Austria with confidence and clarity.
