Legal Considerations of Naming Your Business in Massachusetts

The name of a business in Massachusetts must tolerate all state requirements and be uniquely different from other business names:

  • For Limited Liability Companies: The words LLC, Limited Liability Company, or Company has to get placed at the end of your business name. It cannot contain Incorporated, Corporation, Inc, or Corp.
  • For Corporations: The words Incorporated, Corporations, Inc, or Corp has to get placed at the end of your business name. It cannot contain LLC, Limited Liability Company, or Company.

Using a name much too similar to a currently used name by your competition, that business may accuse you of a trademark violation; you may get forced to change your name and may even have to pay damages. Part of our complete incorporation or company formation package includes (at no additional cost) our attorneys helping you find and choose a name that may avoid possible legal penalties. Call our law firm at (800) 603-3900 for a free consultation.

My attorney for 30 years. They really do more than just set up corporations. I needed somebody to help me out of a serious legal matter they were able to take on the case for less than 1/2 of what the other attorney was charging me. Become a member of their Club it's like a hundred forty bucks a year and you get all the free legal advice you want. What a cheap insurance policy. I am so glad that I have them on my side.
