California Foreign LLC
Foreign LLC Name
-
For a Limited Liability Company, company names must end with the words
"LLC" or "Limited Liability Company". Do not enter periods between the
letters in "LLC". The words "Limited" and "Company" may be abbreviated
to "Ltd." and "Co." respectively. The name cannot be the same as or
deceptively similar to the corporate name of a domestic corporation
or a foreign qualified corporation.
Limited liability companies are a relatively new form of business entity
for the state. Formation and operation of such entities in California was
authorized in 1994 through the Beverly-Killea Limited Liability Company
Act. At this time professional limited liability companies are prohibited
from forming or registering in California. The majority of limited liability
company filings utilize forms prescribed by the Secretary of State, which were
developed to simplify filing procedures. The prescribed forms provide for the
statutory minimum requirements under the Beverly-Killea Act.
