These determinations are non-binding and a final determination cannot be made until the documents are received and processed.

There is always a chance that your documents may be rejected on the basis of a conflicting name even if you check it in advance. You greatly reduce your risk of this occurring by checking online and calling for a non-binding availability check prior to completing your filing.

It is suggested that you search in a few different ways depending upon what name you select. You should search for the entire name that you wish to secure. Print out the results of this search and keep it for your records. You should also do a partial name search to determine what names may be close, but not exactly like the name you wish to obtain.

We offer 4 package options for Maryland corporations	Complete Incorporation, Corporate Kit and Bylaws Package - $49.95	Corporate Kit and Bylaws Package - $39.95	119 Corporate Resolution/Meeting Minute Forms - $29.95	Confidentiality and Non-disclosure Agreements - $29.95

For example, if the name that you have chosen is ABC Vending Supplies, Inc., you should search ABC Vending Supplies, ABC Vending, and perhaps ABC Ven so you will get a picture of what names may be similar to the one you have selected.

Checking the corporate name in advance is necessary and will save you a lot of time. If you do not check first, your incorporation papers will be returned to you if there is a conflicting name and you will need to start over again from scratch.

We suggest that you do not make any expenditures in reliance on the name you choose until after your documents have been accepted by the Maryland corporations office.
