When naming businesses, you must follow the naming guidelines for New Hampshire, which depend on the type of business structure you have.
New Hampshire 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 legal paperwork and a licensed individual, such as a doctor or lawyer, to be part of your LLC.
New Hampshire Naming Rules for Corporations:
- Your name must contain the word “corporation,” “company,” “incorporated,” “limited”, the abbreviation "corp.," "inc.," or "ltd.;" or words or abbreviations of like meaning in another language.
- Your name must be distinguishable from any existing business in your state. This includes New Hampshire reserved names. We will help with this step in the search for your business name section below.
- Your name cannot imply that the corporation was organized for any non-permitted purpose or one not outlined in its articles of incorporation.
