Perform a Florida Company Name Search and See If Your Business Name Is Available

Just use the Florida Business Name Search Tool above and enter your proposed FL LLC or corporation name. We’ll search the business name database of the Florida Division of Corporations and tell you if there are any matches.

Florida business entities do have to follow some general and specific naming rules. We’ve covered the main ones above.

You can normally choose to conduct business under a different name in Florida. This can be known as an “assumed name,” “fictitious name,” “doing business as name,” or “trade name.” We can file your FL Fictitious Business Name with the Florida Division of Corporations on your behalf.

You can change your Florida legal business entity name by filing an amendment to your Articles of Incorporation or Articles of Organization. We can file an amendment on your behalf, including changing the name of your Florida corporation or LLC.

The perfect Florida business name can be elusive. We have a complete guide to choosing the right FL business name — you'll want to choose a name that will:

• Matter to business customers
• Be memorable enough to stand out
• Tell people what your business does
• Not be used by another business in Florida

The easiest way to protect your Florida business name is to incorporate your business in Florida, generally as a Limited Liability Company (LLC) or a corporation. We can help you do that — just choose “Incorporate Now” above to get started.



If you want extra protection, you could consider registering your Florida business name as a trademark. Note that filing a fictitious or “doing business as" (DBA) name in Florida will not be sufficient to protect it.

Businesses are incorporated in Florida via the Division of Corporations. They manage the Florida company register, and it is their business name database that we will search on your behalf.
