Steps to create a name to use in your GA LLC Lookup

Before searching for the availability of a business name in the GA LLC lookup database, let’s go over how to craft great names for your Georgia LLC. We know how hard it can be to create an available limited liability company name that follows legal requirements, gives your business a competitive advantage, and represents your business values. Here are some steps to keep in mind:

Georgia LLC Search for a Name

In performing a Georgia LLC search in the GA LLC lookup database, you will find out whether or not your name is legally available. Below we will outline standards, restrictions, and suggestions based on Georgia state business name guidelines.

• The name of your Georgia limited liability company must be distinguishable from all others; none may be the same or deceptively similar.
• Company names that use words that describe or convey the impression that the business is engaged in practices that it isn’t, such as using ‘insurance’ in the name while it isn’t an insurance company—unless the name makes it clear that it isn’t.
• Avoid unimportant words (the, and, of), including numbers and letters (unless using acronyms). Also, discard generic verbiage (corporation, incorporated, company, etc.) or their abbreviations.

Legal considerations when naming your Georgia LLC

Using a name that is too similar to the one used by your competitors, that company may accuse you of a trademark violation; you might get forced to adopt a different name and may even have to pay monetary damages. Part of our complete company formation package includes, at no additional cost, our attorneys helping you find and choose a name that avoids any potential legal penalties. Unlike many Georgia LLC formation services, we provide you with legal counsel and advice from our in-house business attorneys.
