Guide to accepted words you can use in your New York LLC or New York Corporation



New York has the most confusing name acceptance policy of ANY State. Due to the highly regulated Wall Street, the rest of regular businesses trying to operate in New York suffer through the red tape of operating a business in New York. There is no information about this on the New York Secretary of State, Department of State website. You’ll simply get a vague rejection letter and be left wondering “What the heck do I do now?”

Domestic and Foreign Corporations and LLCs may not have the following words, phrases, or any abbreviation or derivative of the intended word in them:
board of trade
state police
urban development
chamber of commerce
state trooper
urban relocation
community renewal
tenant relocation


Domestic and Foreign Corporations and LLCs may use the following words with approval from the State agency that governs the type of work that businesses with these words in their name may do. You must order an approval letter before you submit any paperwork to the State and submit the approval with your State filing (or any abbreviation or derivative of).

The following words will need approval:
acceptance
endowment loan annuity
fidelity
mortgage
assurance
finance
savings
