State Information
New York
Selecting the New York Corporation or LLC Name
Since the name you pick out for your business will be identifying your corporation or LLC as a unique entity, the name will not be accepted by the state of New York if it is likely to mislead the general population or if it too closely resembles the name of another corporation or LLC formed in New York.
The state guidelines of New York require that you do not use any type of punctuation such as dashes, hyphens, periods, commas, underscores, quotations or exclamation points in the name selection. While it may be advantageous to your business to try to name your corporation or LLC so that it identifies with the goods or services you will be providing, the state does not require this.
