50-State Statutory Business Naming Guidelines
Every US State enforces distinct statutory rules under their Limited Liability Company and General Corporation Acts. Review top state regulations below:
Must include LLC, L.L.C., or Limited Liability Co.. Cannot imply affiliation with government branches or financial institutions without banking commissioner approval.
Must be distinguishable upon records of the Division of Corporations. The word "Bank" requires written approval from Delaware State Bank Commissioner.
Must contain LLC, L.L.C., or Limited Liability Company. Strict Sunbiz database index matching prevents registration of phonetically identical or deceptively similar entities.
Cannot contain Bank, Trust, Trustee, Inc, Incorporated, Corporation, or Insurer in an LLC name unless specific statutory exemptions apply.
