Choosing your business industry will help our AI tool generate much better names. Also, having the industry keyword in your name will help customers easily find your business.

For example, if you’re selling pool cleaning services, include the industry keyword “pool” in your Arizona business name; if you’re a law firm, include the keyword “legal.” Doing this will greatly help with local search engine optimization (SEO).

  • Restricted words (e.g., Bank, Attorney, University, etc.) may require additional paperwork and a licensed individual, such as a doctor or lawyer, to be part of your Arizona LLC.
  • Your name must be distinguishable from any other Arizona limited liability company, corporation, limited liability partnership, limited partnership, or trade name.

Arizona Naming Rules for Corporations:

  • Your name must contain the word “corporation,” “company,” “incorporated,” or “limited” or an abbreviation of one of these terms.
