You need to use an Arizona Company Name which is not the same or too similar to the Business Name of any other entity operating in the state of Arizona.  The Arizona Corporation Commission will not approve an Arizona Company Name which is so similar to another Arizona Company Name (Corporation or LLC) as to be likely to be mistaken for it.

Your Arizona Company Name can identify the type of products and/or services your Arizona Corporation or Arizona LLC will provide; or it may be the name of the founder; or it can be a combination of the two or even something else.

In any case, the Arizona Company Name that you choose must be distinguishable from the name of any other registered Arizona Business entity and the name must also be different from any Reserved Company Names on record with the Arizona Corporation Commission.  Your Arizona Company Name must not imply that it was formed for a purpose other than that stated in your formation documents and your Arizona Company Name must not be a name that is likely to mislead the public.

If you are planning on starting an Arizona Corporation then your name must include the words "Incorporated", "Corporation", "Inc." or "Corp.".  If you are planning on starting an Arizona LLC then your name must include the words "LLC" or "Limited Liability Company".

Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when you come up with your Arizona Company Name:

• Your Arizona Company Name must include only English letters and numbers or Roman numerals.
• Punctuation DOES NOT make Arizona Company Names distinguishable from each other.
  For example, "A.B.C., Inc." is not distinguishable from "ABC, Inc."
• Plural forms of the same word DO NOT make the Arizona Company Names distinguishable from each other.
• A suffix added to a word or any other deviation from or derivative of the same word DOES NOT make Arizona Company Names distinguishable from each other.
• Arizona Company Names are NOT DISTINGUISHABLE if the only difference is the abbreviation of a word in the name.  For example, "AZ Auto Store, Inc." is not distinguishable from "Arizona Auto Store, Inc."
• Arizona Company Names are NOT DISTINGUISHABLE if the only difference is a phonetic spelling of the same word.  For example, "Boyz, Inc." is not distinguishable from "Boys, Inc."

It's important to choose a good name for your Arizona Business because if you want to change it after you form your Arizona Company you will have to file amended formation documents with the Arizona Corporation Commission (and pay a fee).
