Step 2: Follow the Colorado Business Naming Rules
When naming businesses, you must follow the naming guidelines for Colorado which depend on the type of business structure you have.
Colorado Naming Rules for LLCs or Limited Liability Company:
- Your name must include the phrase “limited liability company” or one of the following abbreviations or words: “LLC, L.L.C., ltd., limited liability co., ltd. liability company, ltd. liability co., or limited.”
- Your name cannot include words that could confuse your LLC with a government agency (FBI, Treasury, State Department, etc.).
- Restricted words (e.g., Bank, Attorney, University) may require additional legal paperwork and a licensed individual, such as a doctor or lawyer, to be part of your LLC.
Colorado Naming Rules for Corporations:
- Your name must contain one of the following terms or abbreviations: corporation, incorporated, company, limited, corp., inc., co., or ltd.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any existing business in the state. We will help with this step in the search for your business name section below.
- Your name cannot contain any term that would violate any Colorado law. For example, your business name cannot include obscenities or references to illegal activities.
- Your name cannot include words that could confuse your LLC with a government agency (FBI, Treasury, State Department, etc.).
