Do S-Corps and C-Corps both end their business names in &quot;Corp&quot;?
<p>I plan on starting my second company as a corporation and filing as an S-Corp. Would my new business name still be</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Business Name Corporation</p>
</blockquote>

<p>or is a different form used?</p>

<p>There is no distinction in the name of an entity based upon whether it is an S-corporation or a C-corporation.</p>

<p>Corporation, Incorporated, Inc., Limited and Ltd. are often allowed a corporation designators under state incorporation statutes.</p>

<p>Also, it is possible to elect to have a limited liability company or other limited liability entity such as a limited liability partnership, limited liability limited partnership or limited partnership association taxed as either a C-corporation or as an S-Corporation, in which case the appropriate designator for those types of entities could also be used.</p>

<p>In general, the state law entity type usually does not establish the nature of the entity for tax purposes if the entity has limited liability.</p>
