Reserve a company name
Reserve your corporate or llc name before you incorporate your business to ensure your corporate or llc name is available when you incorporate.
If you are not yet ready to incorporate or form a limited liability company (LLC), but would like to reserve your business name, BizFilings offers state Name Reservations. Once a Name Check is performed, we can reserve that company name for you for a certain period of time. Allowed reservation time frames depend upon the state.
The name of a corporation, LLC, limited partnership (LP), limited liability partnership (LLP) or nonprofit corporation must be distinguishable on the records of the state government. If the name is not unique, or if it is already in use by another business formed in that state, the state will reject the formation documents.
Pricing
The cost for a state Name Reservation, with name check, is $35 + state fees.
