This should be done before filing the articles of organization.<\/p><p>Missouri requires every LLC name to include one of these designators:<\/p><ul><li>&#8220;Limited Liability Company&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;LLC&#8221; or &#8220;L.L.C.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;LC&#8221; or &#8220;L.C.&#8221;<\/li><li>&#8220;Limited Company&#8221;<\/li><\/ul><h3>What the LLC Name Cannot Do<\/h3><p>A name for your missouri llc cannot:<\/p><ul><li>Be the same as or similar to an existing missouri entity in the database.<\/li><li>Use restricted words (Bank, Trust, Insurance, University) without state approval.<\/li><li>Imply a government affiliation without authorization.<\/li><li>Mislead the public about the type of business.<\/li><\/ul><h2>Missouri Fictitious Names (DBAs)<\/h2><p>Missouri business corporations can also operate under a fictitious name, a DBA. Llc names using the missouri firm registration system can register a fictitious name through the same SOS portal. The business firm search covers fictitious names in the same database. Search for yours under the <strong>&#8220;Fictitious Name&#8221;<\/strong> search type.<\/p><h2>How to Reserve Your Business Name in Missouri<\/h2><p>Confirmed name is available?

It eliminates any confusion from similar organization names in search results.<\/p><h2>Foreign Entities Doing Business in Missouri<\/h2><p>Foreign entity llcs must register with the missouri secretary of state before they can legally conduct business in Missouri.
