What is the name of Jessica's detective agency in the series, "Jessica Jones"?

The story behind the answer

Jessica's detective agency in the series Jessica Jones is called Alias Investigations.

The name reflects Jessica Jones's identity and her history in Marvel Comics. Before becoming a private investigator, Jessica had operated as the superhero Jewel and later used the identity Knightress. After leaving superhero work behind, she established Alias Investigations and took cases involving missing people, infidelity, corporate misconduct, and unusual threats.

The agency is a key part of the Netflix/Marvel series, which premiered in 2015 and starred Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones. Jessica is usually portrayed as the agency's owner and principal investigator, working from a small office in New York City. Her superhuman strength, durability, investigative instincts, and complicated past distinguish her from a conventional private detective.

A common mix-up comes from the comic-book series Alias. Alias was the title of the comic that introduced Jessica Jones in 2001, but it is not the agency's name. The fictional business is Alias Investigations, while “Alias” is also the name of the comic series and a recurring reference to Jessica's reinvention after her superhero career.
