Can I reserve a business name in Delaware?

Yes, you can reserve a business name in Delaware. The Delaware Secretary of State allows individuals to request a reservation for a specific business name for a period of 120 days. This reservation can be made online through the Delaware Division of Corporations website or by submitting a written request via mail. The reservation process requires the completion of a Name Reservation Request form and the payment of a fee. However, it is important to note that name reservations do not guarantee approval or the availability of the requested name for use as a business entity. It is recommended to conduct a name availability search before submitting a reservation request to ensure that the desired name is not already in use.
