Company Name Reservation in Illinois

The Process

To reserve a specific name for a future company, an individual must first check with Illinois Secretary of State if that name is available. If available, a name can be reserved by filing a special "Company Name Reservation" application, and it's usually processed within 5-15 days.

Reservation Period

Illinois Secretary of State will reserve a company name for a period of 90 days. After that the reservation must be renewed.

Things To Remember

When reserving a name in Illinois one must use the name with appropriate company identifier (to learn more about specific identifiers, acceptable for filing in Illinois please visit our Illinois LLC, corporation or nonprofit pages).

A name can only be reserved for a corporation or a limited liability company.

IMPORTANT! Company name reservation is NOT the same thing as company registration. Reservation only gives you the right to register a company with the reserved name, and this right is withrawn after a certain period of time.

Thanks guys, you did a great job helping me to open my photography business, I really didn't know where to start where to go - you did it all for me. How cool is that? It was an easy and clear process of creating a request to open a company, every step was described, so I didn't have to google each term. The price is good, the service is excellent. I really recommend everyone to let myusacorporation.com open a business for them. I didn't spend time on surfing the net finding the right form to fill and send somewhere. You did it for me, while I was doing things I love - taking pictures. More than that, you have so much valuable information on your site about everything I need for my business, like virtual phone number, business cards etc. I don't need to do any research - it's all there: comparison of a leading companies, reviews, pros and cons. Really helpful and saves tons of time.
