What are the restrictions on naming my corporation or LLC?
The name of your new entity may be the hardest part of forming your new corporation or LLC. As with Internet domain names, many “good” names are already taken. In addition, certain words in a name are not allowed, if they would tend to cause confusion. For example, Bank, Banker, Credit Union, Disney, Insurance, Olympics, Trust Company, and other such terms may be prohibited by the state, if certain conditions are not met. The name of your company should reflect what your company does. For example, you might want to call your company Acme Construction. If Acme Construction was taken, you could try Acme Construction of Miami, Acme Construction of South Florida, or Acme Construction of Miami-Dade. With slight variations, and a little imagination, a proper name for your company can be easily selected and reserved. Back to top.
