Step 2: Name your LLC:

Naming your LLC is very important for getting an EIN and opening a US bank account for your business. There are some guidelines to following when you are about to name your company:

The company name must include the phrase limited liability company or abbreviations LLC/L.L.C.

Certain terminologies such as the FBI, State Department, etc. can confuse your LLC with the government agency. The use of such terms is prohibited.

The use of restricted words such as University, Attorney, and Banks requires additional paperwork and a licensed individual. If your company is referring to such fields and including such terms is obligatory then Ejad labs plus is here for you in providing licensed individuals and doing the paperwork.

The state you choose for filing your LLC must be having your physical mailing address. You can adopt anyone schemes to do so
