How to form an LLC in Delaware

There are various steps to follow if you want to register your business with the state; check them out below:

1. Choose your company name

Choosing your company name is extremely important; however, your first choice might not always be available. You need to check the availability of your preferred business name through a Delaware business entity search and then reserve it if it’s not in use.

When checking availability, it’s a good idea to simultaneously look at web domain names, so that your website can have the same name as your business. If your chosen business name is available, don’t panic. You can choose a “Doing Business As” or DBA name and carry out business under a different public name than your official registered name.
