When you’re forming an LLC in Virginia, there are certain things that you really need to keep in mind. Here’s a brief guide on the process to get you started on the LLC status application.
Forming an LLC in Virginia
If you’re forming an LLC in Virginia, then you will have to go through a corresponding application process. This entails a simple form submission, but one that requires a certain amount of attention to detail. A few different aspects of the process are going to be very important at the time of filling out the application, such as the name and type of the company that you’re creating. Now, you’ve already decided to establish an LLC, good. Then, it will be time to choose a name for it. Let’s take a look at that process.
Naming Your LLC
It’s important to remember that, just like most other states, Virginia has specific naming requirements that have to be met for LLCs. Not meeting this specification might result in a failed application, so be sure to take a look at these guidelines:
- The name of the LLC needs to include at least one of the phrases “Limited Liability Company” or “Limited Company” or an abbreviation of such, like L.L.C./LLC or L.C./LC.
- The name can’t include words or abbreviations that imply it is a different business entity. For example, the name of an LLC can’t have the words “corporation” or “corp”.
- The LLC name must be distinct from any other business entity registered in the state. This includes corporations, trusts, and partnerships
- The LLC name can’t include words such as “bank,” “trust,” “engineer,” “land surveying” or “architecture” unless the LLC is in fact engaged in this business.
