Changing The Name On An Existing LLC
Changing the name on an existing LLC is usually called filing an Articles of Amendment (sometimes “Certificate of Amendment”), and the process depends on your state. Here’s the general step-by-step:
1. Check name availability
- Search your state’s Secretary of State (or business registry) website to make sure the new LLC name isn’t already taken.
- Confirm the name meets your state’s naming requirements (e.g., must include “LLC” or “Limited Liability Company”).
2. File Articles of Amendment
- Download or complete the Articles of Amendment form from your state’s Secretary of State website.
- You’ll typically need:
- Submit online or by mail with the filing fee (usually $20–$150 depending on the state).
3. Update your Operating Agreement
- Update your LLC’s internal Operating Agreement to reflect the new name.
- This is an internal document but should match the public records.
4. Update EIN & IRS records
- If you have an EIN, you don’t need a new one, but you must notify the IRS of the name change.
5. Update licenses, permits, and bank accounts
- Update your business licenses, permits, contracts, leases, and bank accounts with the new name.
