Enter the business legal name you would like:

Business activities (NAICS code(s)) highlighted in red are discontinued. Please search for latest activities and replace them.

Enter your preferred business name and we will check its availability in PA. Note that the name you enter here will still be subject to approval by the PA Department of State and may need to be changed if it is not available when you register.

The legal name of your business should contain a designator. The designator should match the entity type you are registering. It appears at the end of the business name and describes the business entity type (e.g., Inc, LLC, etc.).

Sole proprietors who are not single-member LLCs should use their first and last name as the legal business name.
