Do I have to Reserve a Company Name before I Incorporate in Florida?

You cannot reserve a Company name for a new Florida Corporation before you submit your application to Incorporate in Florida.

What if the Florida Corporation Name I want is already taken?

If the Name you have chosen for your new Florida Corporation is already in use by a currently active Florida Corporation or LLC, and you still want to use that Corporation Name, then you will have to register a DBA Name with the Florida Secretary of State.  "DBA" is an abbreviation for "Doing Business As."

In Florida a DBA Name is called a Fictitious Name.

We verify that the Name you have chose for your new Florida Corporation is available before we submit your Incorporation filing to the Florida Secretary of State.  If necessary we can register a Fictitious Name in Florida for you so that you can open your new Florida business as quickly as possible.
