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