    Check with your state...Go to the states website and search for the Entity Name you picked out , If it's not already in use then chances are it's a available Entity .... There are some restrictions in some states .

    Mine is also a combination of Mine and my Wife's names ,LLC ....

    Some will argue , but there are benefits to a LLC... -Vs- a DBA or Sole Proprietors.

    The best advise I have is check with a Lawyer if you have any questions about the differences ....

    I already did the LLC thing online. My name has no flow to it whatsoever. I went with:

    Freight Pro Transport, LLC

    Already bought the domain too, so figure I'm good.
