not already used or is not considered obscene or objectionable by
your local Corporate Filing Office. When articles of incorporation are
filed, the Corporate Filing Office will check its database and tell you
if the name is already being used. If so, you will have to make a
change. Also, the corporate laws generally require that the name
you choose end in some word or abbreviation that denotes a
corporation. These include incorporation (or inc.), corporation (or
corp.), company (or co.) or limited (or ltd.)

Your corporate name will only be registered in the state you
incorporate in or in which you file an application as a foreign
corporation. There may be other corporations with the same name in
other states.

Most states now provide online searches available to the public for
searching for a corporate name. Click the link for a list of Corporate
Filing Office websites by state.
