Random Company Name Generator API: Generate Fake Business Names

Building a B2B platform, CRM, or business directory? The Random Company Name Generator API creates realistic fake company names with optional industry classification, business types, and corporate suffixes.

Why Generate Fake Company Names?

Testing business applications requires realistic company data. Using "Test Company" or "ACME Corp" repeatedly makes demos look unprofessional and does not test how your system handles varied business names.

The API generates diverse company names following real naming patterns - from tech startups to law firms to manufacturing companies - making your test data and demos look authentic.

Company Name Formats

The API generates various types of company names:

Founder Names

Traditional names like "Johnson & Associates" or "Smith, Brown & Partners"

Descriptive Names

Industry-descriptive like "Pacific Digital Solutions" or "Mountain View Manufacturing"

Creative/Startup Names

Modern naming like "Zenith Labs", "Nexora", or "Cloudbridge"

Corporate Suffixes

Appropriate endings: Inc., LLC, Corp., Ltd., GmbH, etc.
