Changing the name of your entity can be a complicated process. Each state has different guidelines regarding name availability and the documents necessary to reflect the change. There are multiple steps that need to be taken to update the business name in all of the necessary Secretary of State offices. We can help coordinate the entire process by checking availability of the name in each state, giving guidance on how to work around potential name conflicts and availability issues, as well as providing state-specific procedures and forms needed to finalize the change. Even if you aren’t ready to file but want to secure the desired new name for future use, we can provide available options for name reservations and name registrations in each jurisdiction.
