Some times initials aren't helpful in business names

[Ben Kevan]

So,

I've been working on coming up with an LLC name. The first choice was to use my first and last initials. I wrote them out and came back with:
BK Properties LLC

Really? BK, come on :(.

Maybe with my middle initial BLK Properties (But even then, Black Properties?).

:oops:

It depends on whether you are going to market your LLC or not. If it is simply a holding LLC, such as for a single-property LLC, I am more concerned that the name is not taken when I form the LLC, so I name them by address: 5 Main St, Anytown, NH becomes 5MA, LLC.

If you are going to market, choose something memorable. Black could become Blackjack, Black and White, etc. If you plan to buy commercial properties requiring commercial financing or a Private Placement, don't choose something silly, sounds unprofessional.
