Are you in the process of forming your client’s new business? One of the first, and most important, steps in the business formation process is choosing the corporation’s name. As many of our clients (attorneys, CPAs, and other licensed financial professionals) are aware, a corporation’s name must comply with the rules of the relevant state’s corporation division or Secretary of State. When it comes time to file incorporation papers, let us do the work for you. Attorneys Corporation Service, Inc. can quickly and cost-effectively incorporate your client’s new business in all 50 states.

Running a business name availability search is crucial before you start filling out at new business paper work. Provide us with up to three names in your order of preference and we will let you know within hours which of the proposed names are available (on a preliminary basis). Additionally, if instructed by you at the time of your name availability request, we will secure your proposed name with the Secretary of State.

While each state has its own rules, the following guidelines generally apply when picking a corporation’s name:

  • The name cannot be the same as the name of another corporation on file;
  • An LLC must have a designation (LLC, Limited Liability Corporation);
  • The name cannot contain certain words that suggest an association with the federal government or a restricted type of business (such as Bank, Trust, Trustee, Olympic, Insurer, Insurance Company, Cooperative).

Along with complying with your state’s corporate naming rules, it is necessary to make sure that your client’s business name won’t violate another company’s trademark.
