- Your name cannot include words that could confuse your LLC with a government agency (e.g., FBI, Treasury, State Department, etc.).
- 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 LLC.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any other Arkansas limited liability company, corporation, or limited partnership.
Arkansas Naming Rules for Corporations:
- Your name must contain one of the following words or abbreviations: corporation, incorporated, company, limited, corp., inc., co., or ltd.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any existing business in your state. This includes Arkansas reserved names. We will help with this step in the search for your business name section below.
