Can I use words such as “bank,” “insurance,” or “university” in my name?
These and similar words are restricted in many jurisdictions and may require regulatory approval, licensing, or other authorization. Check the rules of the state where the entity or assumed name will be registered.
Swyft Filings provides business-name resources and performs name checks as part of its filing process. A state name check focuses on whether a proposed entity name can be accepted under that state's naming rules; it does not determine whether the name is clear from every trademark, branding, domain-name, or marketplace conflict.
