You need to use a New Jersey Company Name which is not the same or too similar to the Business Name of any other
entity operating in the state of New Jersey.
The New Jersey Department of Treasury will not approve a New Jersey Company Name which is so similar to another New Jersey Company Name
(Corporation or LLC) as to be likely to be mistaken for it.
Your New Jersey Company Name can identify the type of products and/or services your New Jersey Corporation or New Jersey 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 New Jersey Company Name that you choose must be distinguishable from the name of any other registered New Jersey
Business entity and the name must also be different from any Reserved Company Names on record with the New Jersey Department of Treasury.
Your New Jersey Company Name must not imply that it was formed for a purpose other than that stated in your
formation documents and your New Jersey Company Name must not be a name that is likely to mislead the public.
If you are planning on starting a New Jersey Corporation then your name must include the words
"Incorporated", "Corporation", "Inc." or "Corp.".
If you are planning on starting a New Jersey 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 New Jersey Company Name:
- Your New Jersey Company Name must include only English letters and numbers or Roman numerals.
- Punctuation DOES NOT make New Jersey 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey Company Names
distinguishable from each other.
- New Jersey Company Names are NOT DISTINGUISHABLE if the only difference is the abbreviation of a word in the name.
For example, "NJ Auto Store, Inc." is not distinguishable from "New Jersey Auto Store, Inc."
- New Jersey 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 New Jersey Business because if you want to change it after you form your New Jersey Company you
will have to file amended formation documents with the New Jersey Department of Treasury (and pay a fee).
