Efficient and professional assistance in quickly setting up my LLC. Started an application with Tailor Brands and later learned my expedited fee was only to submit to the State within two days, even though their website advertised 24 hours for an LLC formation and EIN. Should have started with Legal Zoom! Spoke with Gianna on the phone to set it up, logged into my account, and was done in an hour! Thorough and reliable.

BEST PHONE CALL IN THE 364.25 DAYS OF 2025

Wow! Being nervous and not knowing exactly which direction to take I went online last night and found LegalZoom. I wasn’t completely sure about it (getting the LLC) and my anxiety kicked in so I backed out of it. My number must have saved anyway in their archive because I received a call this morning. Martha Anguiano called and the encounter with her was just what I needed to encourage me further with my LLC process. She was very polite, knowledgeable and immediately gave me a list of what I can choose from to start. After discussing with her more about my plans she suggested the best start up package for me. Martha was so genuinely enthusiastic about my idea that I felt truly comfortable sharing with her. After getting off the phone my smile and heart expressed the connection that was made even if it’s only for the professionalism she offers as an agent, I’m grateful it was her that called as I stated to her, “I’m not sure how it would have went if it were another agent that called.” (I can be nervous when speaking and studdar my words but she made me feel completely heard and understood) I can only hope and believe the entire Team at LeagalZoom is just as pleasant, knowledgeable and concerned for the customers as she exemplified. If you see this message Martha, thank you so much you’re definitely a Golden Star in this universe. ⭐️✨⭐️ Looking forward to working with you & LegalZoom. Thank You!

Smooth, Professional, and Worth It — LegalZoom Made My LLC Easy

I recently used LegalZoom to form my Cleaning LLC, and overall I had a very positive experience. From start to finish, the process was efficient, transparent, and far less stressful than I expected. What went well: Easy to Navigate: The LegalZoom website clearly guided me through every step. I didn’t get lost in jargon or red tape. Clear Pricing & No Surprises: Costs were laid out ahead of time, and all required state fees were explained. No hidden fees popped up afterward. Fast Processing: Once I submitted my paperwork, things moved quickly — I got my official LLC documents sooner than I anticipated. Helpful Customer Support: When I had a few questions (about the operating agreement, registered agent, etc.), their support reps were attentive and professional. They helped clarify things without rushing me. All-in-One Convenience: LegalZoom handled all the official filings and paperwork. I didn’t need to go to the Secretary of State or juggle multiple portals. That saved me a ton of time. What could be better: Upsells & Add-ons: LegalZoom offers several add-on options (e.g. expedited processing, kits, templates, etc.). While some were useful, it felt like a lot of extras pushed along the way. I’d recommend reviewing each optional service carefully before adding it. Turnaround Time on Some Documents: A few documents (beyond the core LLC formation) took longer than anticipated. If you’re under a tight deadline, you may want to choose expedited options. Customization Limits: For standard LLCs with typical needs (like mine, a cleaning business), everything was fine. But if your business is more complex (multi-member, special licensing, etc.), you might hit limits on how much the template-based services can tailor to your specific case. Overall Recommendation: If you’re looking to form an LLC without hiring a law firm or figuring out all the legal and bureaucratic steps yourself, LegalZoom is a solid choice. For my Cleaning LLC, it delivered excellent value. The convenience, guidance, and peace of mind it provided were well worth the cost. I’d definitely use them again or recommend them to others starting a business.

Gail is knowledgeable, patient, professional, and genuinely caring. From the very beginning, she made me feel supported, heard, and confident in the process of forming my nonprofit.

Even when I had questions outside the typical scope, she went the extra mile to help — always with kindness, clarity, and grace. She made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel seamless and empowering. Gail is exactly the kind of person who deserves to be recognized and promoted.

400 T-Shirt Business Name Ideas

Just like your T-shirts, your name should speak to your niche, target audience, and brand identity. Each type of tee-shirt business offers unique opportunities to connect with customers and stand out in the market. Start by exploring these T-shirt business name ideas to inspire your creativity.

Vintage T-shirt business names

Popular with collectors, sports enthusiasts, and fashionistas, vintage T-shirts have a broad and passionate audience. Your T-shirt business name should reflect the classic appeal of your designs.

Retro T-shirt business names

A retro tee-shirt business celebrates nostalgic styles and past eras. Your business name should attract customers who want to connect with timeless designs.

Fandom T-shirt business names

Fandom T-shirt brands use ideas inspired by pop culture, including movies, comics, and games. This target audience is filled with passionate fans, so your T-shirt business will need a great name.

Meme and humor T-shirt business ideas

Humorous T-shirts spark laughter and recognition and are popular among younger shoppers who enjoy witty, relatable content. Get inspired by these T-shirt brand names.


Sustainable T-shirt business names

An eco-friendly tee-shirt business caters to shoppers who prioritize sustainability and ethical practices. A business name that reflects your green mission can help you build trust.

Tie-dye T-shirt business names

Tie-dye T-shirts are fun and carefree—and your business name should be, too. A name that reflects the energetic designs and vibrant colors of tie-dye can help your brand stand out.

Streetwear T-shirt business names

A streetwear T-shirt company creates edgy designs influenced by hip-hop, skate culture, and current fashion trends. Choose business name ideas that will attract audiences who value individuality.

Artistic T-shirt business names

Want to start a totally unique T-shirt business? Artistic brands focus on original designs you can’t find anywhere else. With the right business name, you’ll attract all sorts of eclectic personalities.

Custom T-shirt business names

Custom brands feature personalized screen printing and appeal to a diverse target audience. Choosing a name that emphasizes customization and top-tier quality helps build trust in your T-shirt company.

Modern T-shirt business names

A modern T-shirt business has contemporary, minimal designs, often targeting young professionals or trendsetters. A business name that reflects modernity and simplicity will appeal to this market.

How to choose the best T-shirt business name

The right name can help you build a brand name and bring in business. Follow these tips to find shirt business name ideas that stand out and resonate with your target audience.

Consider your style

A great T-shirt business name reflects your unique brand identity and the types of products you sell. Think about whether your brand feels fun and casual, bold and edgy, or modern and sleek, and make sure your name sets the right tone.

Choose a unique and catchy name

Choosing a business name that’s memorable and easy to share can boost recognition for your T-shirt brand. Avoid names that are overly specific, as they can limit your growth. Instead, pick something that reflects your current niche but leaves room for expansion.

Follow official naming guidelines

State and federal rules typically require that business names be unique. Some states also restrict certain words or require identifiers like “LLC” or “Corp.” And if you plan to trademark your name, it must not be generic or closely resemble other trademarks.

Check if your business name is available

Make sure your chosen name isn’t already in use before you register it. Search your state’s business name registry, the USPTO trademark database, and the availability of your desired domain name. Once confirmed, secure your name and set up your online presence quickly so you don’t lose out.

Once you're ready to move forward, consider a comprehensive trademark search before registering your business.

How to reserve your T-shirt business name

Once you’ve decided on a great T-shirt business name, you should reserve it as soon as you can. Most states allow you to reserve a business name for a small fee through their Secretary of State website. This holds the name for 30 to 120 days, giving you time to complete other paperwork.

If you’re ready to register, you can file your paperwork to become an LLC or corporation. LegalZoom’s business formation services can help you with these steps and more, so you can start your business with confidence.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

The simplest, most flexible way to structure your business to protect personal assets.

Read about LLCs

Corporation

(S corp or C corp)

A more complex structure with the ability to issue shares and go public, or go global.

Explore corporations

Partnership

(LP or LLP)

Allows business partners to work together while maintaining some liability protections.

Partnership basics

Doing business as

(DBA)

A way to change your public-facing name without having to make changes to your business entity.

Dig into DBAs

LegalZoom can help you file your state's formation paperwork for as little as $0 + state filing fees.

checkmark

Claim your domain name

Choose a domain that matches your business name as closely as possible.

Check social media availability

Platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn are key for connecting with customers. 

checkmark

Think long-term

Even if you don’t plan to use all platforms right away, securing them now ensures you won’t lose them later.

Protect your brand with a trademark

A trademark ensures your business name is legally yours and provides:

checkmark

Exclusive rights

Prevents competitors from using your name.

checkmark

Legal protection

Enforces your rights in court if necessary.

checkmark

Brand credibility

Demonstrates professionalism and trustworthiness.

LegalZoom’s trademark registration service connects you with experienced attorneys who guide you through every step of the process, increasing your likelihood of approval.

Frequently asked questions

What free tools can help me choose a business name?

Brainstorming tools like name generators, word association techniques, or writing down themes can spark creative T-shirt business name ideas. Online tools, including LegalZoom’s name generator, make the process easier by suggesting tailored options.

Can my business have more than one name?

Yes, you can use a “doing business as” (DBA) name in addition to your official T-shirt business name. This allows you to operate under a creative name for branding purposes while keeping a formal legal name.

Can I change my T-shirt business name after I register it?

Yes, but changing a tee-shirt business name requires updating your registration and other documents. You’ll need to file the proper forms with your state and notify the IRS. If your T-shirt business name is trademarked, updating the trademark is also required.


Our free, AI-powered business name generator uses custom prompts to give you memorable, creative names to get your tee-shirt business started on the right foot.


Most trademark conflicts are unintentional—but that doesn’t make them any less expensive. Protect your business today with a simple trademark search.

Should I trademark my business name?

Trademarking your business name is not required, but it can give you grounds for legal action against copycats. It can also help you scale your business down the road. If you decide to register a trademark for your T-shirt business, LegalZoom can help.
