In this regard, does your LLC name have to be your business name?
The Legal RequirementsMost states require an LLC designation be included in the name of a company that's registered as an LLC. The designations vary from state to state, but generally include phrases or abbreviations such as "Limited Liability Company", "Limited Liability Co.", "LLC" and "Limited".
Furthermore, can you abbreviate your business name? Common examples shorten “incorporated,” “company,” “association” and “corporation” to “inc.,” “co.,” “assoc.,” and “corp.” States and other place names typically have abbreviations, such as “L.A.” for “Los Angeles” or “Tex” for “Texas.” Consider using the initials of your company name to form an easy-to-remember
Similarly one may ask, can my domain name be different from my business name?
Domain name that is the same as your company name is appropriate when the website is basically a online presentation for your business. However, yes, when marketing a certain brand, product or service, a domain name that is short, catchy and memorable is much better.
Can I use a different name for my business?
Generally, as long as no one else in your state is using that business name, you can call your company whatever you like. If your exact business name is taken by another company, your state's Secretary of State will not permit duplications so as to avoid confusion.
