Business Naming Tips

Must include an LLC designator

Every state requires your LLC name to include a designator such as "LLC", "L.L.C.", or "Limited Liability Company".

Cannot use restricted words without a license

Words like "Bank", "Insurance", "University", "Attorney", and "Hospital" typically require a professional license or state approval to use in a business name.

Must be distinguishable from existing businesses

Your LLC name must be distinguishable from all other business names on file with the state. Small differences in punctuation or articles (like "The") may not be enough.

Cannot imply a government affiliation

Names that include "FBI", "Treasury", "State Department", or similar terms that could suggest a government connection are prohibited.

Consider your domain name

Before finalizing your business name, check if a matching .com domain is available. A consistent name across your business and website builds credibility.
