How Do I Reserve a Name for a to-be Formed Arizona LLC?

Question: I plan on forming a new Arizona limited liability company in the near future. How do I prevent somebody from taking my desired name before I form the LLC?

Answer: Submit a name reservation with the Arizona Corporation Commission. When approved, you will have the exclusive right to use the name for an Arizona LLC, corporation or limited partnership for 120 days. Before you attempt to reserve the name you must:

Review the Arizona Corporation Commission’s naming standards.

Check the Arizona Corporation Commission’s name database to see if the desired name is available. Don’t forget to put LLC after the desired name and select the LLC radio button.

If the name is available, click on the “reserve” name button to go to the name reservation screen.

The fact the ACC grants a name reservation does not guaranty that the name will be approved when an ACC examiner reviews the Articles of Organization. The name reservation expires after 120 days.

As to whether you should reserve a name and whether it is a waste of money, listen to the KEYTLaw Girl video called “Should You Reserve a Name with the Arizona Corporation Commission for Your New LLC or Corporation?“

Seemingly too good to be true but KEYTLaw delivers as advertised - exceptional service and highly recommended. I can't imagine a more simple, efficient, and professional way to set up an LLC in full compliance. I was up and running in a day, got live phone support on my questions, and have continued to get benefit from all the guidance and content available to those who engage Keyt for this service. Fanatastic.

Greg G.

Talk about service! I was unable to located my LLC "Operating Agreement" that Keytlaw formed in 2007. Called Rick and literally within a minute Rick was emailing me the agreement. Thank you Rick, y'all are the best!!

john D.

I was highly impressed by all aspects of Keyt Law in forming my LLC. Professional, very timely, and an overall excellent experience!! I will certainly do more business with them in the future. Highly recommend!!

Michael B.

The process was quick and easy. What I don't like are emails being sent in which they are not applicable to my company and are not required or needed.

Besides the scheduled meetings, Richard also responded to calls and emails promptly to help us to make decisions quickly. I highly recommend Richard KeytLaw if you need help with LLCs, Trust, or any business formation.

Richard and his team is very experienced and knowledgeable in helping us to form LLCs. They helped us to come up with a LLC structure that provides the protection we need for our investment properties. We were able to discuss with Richard and had all our questions answered within days from contacting the team. Besides the scheduled meetings, Richard also responded emails promptly to help us to make decisions quickly. We really recommend Richard KeytLaw if you need help with LLCs.My husband and I have been researching the LLC laws and law firms for asset protection for a while. We had discussions with a few online companies including a nationally well-known company before making decision to go with KeytLaw. Some of them recommended overly complex LLC structures with a huge setting cost and on-going maintenance fee. We eventually decided to go with KeytLaw because of Richard's experiences and knowledge about Arizona Law, their accessibility, and their fee structure. We are very happy with the decision to go with Richard and plan to use their service for estate planning in the future.

I would recommend KeytLaw for any legal services they need! They helped me form my LLC and it was very straightforward and quick I called and talked to both Richard and his son in regards to some questions that came up and they were very helpful. I will be returning for their help in the near future for my estate planning.

I’m a new entrepreneur and recently started my first business, so I decided to open an LLC. Keyt Law had great online reviews, so I called them and am very happy I did! He answered all my questions over the phone and was very knowledgeable and friendly. I purchased their Gold Package, which included setting up a Trust to “own” the LLC as an added measure of security (I really like that my personal info won’t be public record). My LLC was established the same day, and I got my EIN the next day. Everything was done by phone, e-mail, and Docusign, which was convenient because I didn’t have to take time off work to go into the office. I even got a beautiful, professional portfolio mailed to me with all of my documents arranged behind organized tabs (which, as a brand new business owner, I was very excited to receive…not only is it great to have all my docs in one place, but also the portfolio itself looks really nice and makes me feel “official”)! Once you open your LLC they send out emails almost daily to remind you of things that need to be done for your new business, and to offer lots of other helpful information. This info is vital to new, inexperienced business owners like myself. There was 1 small issue with my trust, but it was resolved quickly. The price of the Gold package is very reasonable considering everything you get. If you’re looking to open an LLC in AZ I highly recommend Keyt Law!

Rob A.

Reached out to Keyt Law after floundering with setting up my LLC and I will never second guess what a great investment it was. The team was extremely helpful and responded quickly to all my questions. Our business was guided professionally through the LLC creation process. We have a foreign component and Keyt Law’s alert system saved us a potential IRS fine of 25,000$ if we had not filed a required form. Sincere thanks from all of us at our new business for setting us up on a solid footing.

Willie N.

The Keyt firm made me confident I had everything covered as we launched my LLC. Their followup emails have kept me informed about operating my company. Their binder is professional and impressive to third parties who might question a startup newbie, but they can see I have the best legal advice.
