Determining an LLC Name

In this section, we will talk about what you should pay attention to when determining a name (company name) for your LLC company.

Determining a Name for an LLC

Choosing a name for an LLC may have rules and restrictions in each state. The most important rule here is that your LLC name must be unique, meaning it can be distinguished from other LLCs.

General Name Rules for LLC Companies

One of the following extensions must be added to the end of the LLC company name.

  • Limited Liability Company
  • LLC
  • LLC

Using the above is a must and requirement for an LLC

For example; STARTUPSOLE LLC or STARTUPSOLE LLC or STARTUPSOLE Limited Liability Company

LLC is not a Corporation company, therefore LLC cannot be suffixed with the abbreviations Corporation, Inc or Corp. For example, these cannot come;

  • Corporation
  • Incorporated
  • Corp.
  • Inch.
