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