Do I need to reserve the name of my LLC prior to filing articles of organization?

Question

Or by filing the articles of organization, the name becomes automatically reserved/taken?

Answer 1

Jerry,

Most states will allow you to check the status of a name. Get all paperwork ready except for filling in the name. Contact the State and check on the name. If available, complete name on filing and IMMEDIATELY send it in. If the name is desirable to others or if name reserve is cheap or free, reserve name and still get PW in right away.

Good Luck,
Dana B.
