Entity Name
An entity name can protect the name of your business at a state level. Depending on your business structure and location, the state may require you to register a legal entity name. Your entity name is how the state identifies your business. Each state may have different rules about what your entity name can be and usage of company suffixes. Most states don’t allow you to register a name that’s already been registered by someone else, and some states require your entity name to reflect the kind of business it represents. In most cases, your entity name registration protects your business and prevents anyone else in the state from operating under the same entity name. However, there are exceptions pertaining to state and business structure. In addition to your business identity there are four other major requirements. Is the name available within your state, can you secure a domain that matches your business name, there are no pending or Trademark registration, and does it meet any possible compliance restriction. Myriad will assist you with researching, securing, and meeting all the requirements. Please make sure you create a legal entity before signing and documents. (An example might be a lease.)
