Guidelines for Pennsylvania LLC Naming:
- Check Name Availability
- Submit Certificate of Organization
- Verify Domain Availability
Checking LLC Name Availability in Pennsylvania:
To find out if a name is available, visit the Department of State website or call (717) 787-1057. Download the Fictitious Name registration form if needed.
Proceed with the LLC registration by ensuring the name is unique and follows state naming guidelines. The LLC name should include a limited liability term, like "Limited" or "Company." Avoid using restricted words without state approval.
Once a suitable name is chosen, submit the required Certificate of Organization, costing $125, to create your Pennsylvania LLC legally. This document contains essential company details.
Ensure the availability of the domain for your chosen name, as well as conducting a trademark search to avoid conflicts with existing trademarks.
Verifying Business Name Availability:
Visit the Department of State website or utilize their online wizard for name verification. The process caters to both domestic and foreign LLCs in Pennsylvania.
