Does forming an LLC protect my brand name?
LLC formation generally provides entity-name protection only to the extent provided by the state's naming rules. It does not automatically establish federal trademark rights or prevent all third parties from using similar branding.
Swyft Filings separates entity formation from licensing and operational registrations. Forming an LLC or corporation does not automatically satisfy federal, state, county, or city licenses, permits, zoning approvals, professional requirements, or sales-tax registrations that may apply to the business's activities.
