Tips on naming your West Virginia Corporation
A Corporation’s name must include Corp, Inc, Incorporated, or Corporation to be valid in the state of West Virginia. A Corporation cannot have the same name as an existing Corporation, Limited Liability Company or a Limited Partnership. The name of the new corporation must be distinguishable upon the records of the Secretary of State. To determine distinction, the Secretary of State will ignore the use of punctuation, prepositions and articles used in the company name. The Secretary of State will also ignore the use of capitalization, spaces, and plural forms of words or special characters. Also certain words will be regulated and prior approval may be needed in order to use the word in a corporate name.
