Can I change the name of my business?

Yes, you can change the name of your business as long as you follow the necessary legal procedures. To change your business name in New York, you must file a Certificate of Amendment with the New York Secretary of State. This form, which can be downloaded from our website, requires you to provide your existing business name, the new desired name, and the reasons for the change. Along with the completed form, you need to submit a fee as specified on our website. It is crucial to ensure that the name you want to change to is not already in use by another registered entity in New York. Once approved, your business name change will be officially recognized, and you should update all relevant records, licenses, permits, and contracts to reflect the new name.
