Step 2: Follow the Mississippi Business Naming Rules
When naming businesses, you must follow the naming guidelines for Mississippi, which depend on the type of business structure you have.
Mississippi 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 (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.
Mississippi Naming Rules for Corporations:
- Your name must contain the word “corporation,” “company,” “incorporated,” “limited,” an abbreviation of one of these terms, or words or abbreviations in a different language with the same meaning.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any existing business in your state. This includes Mississippi reserved names. We will help with this step in the search for your business name section below.
- Your name cannot imply that the corporation is organized for any unlawful purpose or one not outlined in its articles of incorporation.
You can read the Mississippi state statute about corporation naming guidelines for more information.
