Naming an Entity

Category : Articles Directory To Open A Corporation in The USA
Posted On : 1st Sep 2009

Choose the name of your entity carefully. It is very important that your name portray the image you want for your new company. Legally, the name you select must not be "deceptively similar" to any existing company or must be "distinguishable on the record" of your state.

For example, if an LLC named Flower LLC exists in your state, you probably would not be allowed to name your business Flour Limited Liability Company. It is possible that the name you select will not be available; therefore, we ask for a second choice on the Entity order form. Additionally, most states require that the name you select show your business is a limited liability company, by including the words "Limited Liability Company," or the abbreviation LLC. If Corporation include the word "Inc" , " Corp" or "Incorporate" , "Corporate".

Dear Roberta Breeden:

Your question is not clear but let me give you some  guidelines: If you are converting your C-Corporation to an S-Corporation then you will use the same Employer Identification Number. EIN only change If you are changing the structure of your company from corporation to Limited Liability Company (LLC).
