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