How to Register a Business Name in New York: Legal Steps
Registering a business name in New York means two different filings, depending on what is being registered. The entity's legal name is set in its formation documents. A corporate name must include Incorporated, Corporation, Limited, or an abbreviation, and must be distinguishable from names on the Department of State's index (Business Corporation Law § 301); an LLC name must include Limited Liability Company, LLC, or L.L.C. (Limited Liability Company Law § 204). Both statutes restrict words such as bank, trust, insurance, and education, which require the consent of the agency that regulates the field. If the business will trade under a different name, that is a Certificate of Assumed Name under General Business Law § 130 — filed with the Department of State by a corporation or LLC, and with the county clerk of each county where business is conducted by a sole proprietor or partnership. A name may be reserved for sixty days while the documents are prepared. The reservation holds the name against other applicants; it does not guarantee that the formation filing will be accepted, and it has no bearing on trademark rights, which the Department of State does not examine. Clearing the name against the federal register and against unregistered use is a separate step, and the reason to take it before launch is that a conflict found later is resolved by rebranding rather than by refiling.
