Change your business name. State + IRS + downstream.
Changing your business name is more than a state filing. The state Articles of Amendment changes the registered name; then you have to notify the IRS (no form, just letter), update bank accounts, amend contracts, update licenses, update social handles, and possibly file a new DBA. Miss a downstream step and you have months of operational friction. We handle the state filing and coordinate the downstream cleanup.
How we handle Name Change, end-to-end.
Changing your business name is more than a state filing.
Name availability
We confirm the new name is available with state SOS and not confusingly similar to an existing registered mark. Name reservation available if you want to lock it before filing.
Articles of Amendment
We file Articles of Amendment with state SOS changing the registered entity name. Standard filing fee passes through. Same-day filing if received by 3pm ET.
IRS notification
IRS does not have a specific form; we send a letter on company letterhead notifying of the name change with the EIN. Update with state revenue department similarly.
Downstream coordination
Bank account name update, contract amendments, license renewals under new name, social handle updates, website + email transitions. We provide a checklist and coordinate the steps.
