Your LLC name must be unique in your state — no copycats allowed!

Why Your LLC Name Must Be Unique

Thinking about starting an LLC? Here’s something you might not know: you can’t just pick any name you like. Your LLC name must be unique in the state where you register.

Why does this matter? States don’t allow duplicate names because it helps avoid confusion for customers, the government, and other businesses. Imagine two businesses in the same state with the same name — it would be chaos for mail, taxes, and lawsuits.

Before you file, always do a quick name search on your state’s business website. If someone else already has your dream name, you’ll need to tweak it or choose a new one.

👉 Pro tip: Some states let you reserve your name for a small fee while you get your paperwork ready.

Bottom line: Make sure your LLC name is one of a kind — your brand depends on it!
