Be unique
Your LLC name must be distinct to avoid confusion with existing entities.

Learn how to name your company during the LLC incorporation process.
LLCs are subject to naming regulations to ensure clarity and distinction. Here are some guidelines to follow:
Include "LLC"
Make sure to add "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company" in your name to signify your legal structure.
Avoid restricted terms
Refrain from using financial terms like "insurance," "trust," "bank," or "incorporated."
State-specific variations
Rules regarding LLC names can vary from one state to another. Consult your state’s regulations to ensure compliance. If you incorporate with Fluz, we’ll help you choose a name that is compliant.
LLC name vs. business name
Your business name and LLC name do not have to be the same. Your business name is how you present yourself to customers while your LLC name is for legal purposes.
Branding considerations
Your LLC name serves as your official registered entity, while your business name is a branding tool.
Legal obligations
When filing tax returns, opening bank accounts, or applying for loans, you must use your LLC name, complete with "LLC."
Trust and legitimacy
Including "LLC" in your name enhances credibility and assures potential customers of your business' legitimacy.
Secure your business name
Here are two paths you can take to secure your business name:
DBA application
You can secure a business name by applying for a "Doing Business As" (DBA) alongside registering your LLC name with state and local authorities.
Reserve with your state
If you've stumbled upon the perfect business name but aren't ready to establish your LLC, consider reserving it through your Secretary of State's office. Reservation terms vary by state, typically spanning from 30 to 120 days.
