Step 2: Follow the Florida Business Naming Rules
When naming businesses, you must follow the naming guidelines for Florida which depend on the type of business structure you have.
Florida Naming Rules for Limited Liability Companies (LLCs):
- Your name must include the phrase “limited liability company,” or one of its abbreviations (e.g., LLC or L.L.C.).
- 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, etc) may require additional paperwork and a licensed individual, such as a doctor or lawyer, to be part of your Florida LLC.
Florida Naming Rules for Corporations:
- Your name must contain one of the following words or abbreviations: corporation, company, incorporated, Corp., Inc., Co., Corp, Inc., or Co.
- Your name cannot contain language implying that the corporation is organized for an unlawful purpose or one not stated in its articles of organization.
- Your name cannot contain language implying that the corporation is connected with a state or federal government agency or corporation.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any existing business in your state, except for certain fictitious name registrations, general partnership registrations, and limited liability partnership statements. We will help with this step in the search for your business name section below.
