Forming a domestic for profit Maryland business corporation involves three main steps:
Step 1 Name Search
All business entities require a name search and reservation of proposed name prior to company registration in Maryland. Maryland Secretary Of State, Division of Corporations is responsible for the approval of company names.

The general rules for choosing a Maryland company name are:
* must not be identical or too similar to another business' name
* must not infringe registered trademarks or patents
* must not be offensive or vulgar in any way
Company names that contain words like Bank, Finance Company, Insurance, School, University, Travel Agent, Media, etc. must first be approved by the Maryland Company Registration regulatory authority before they can be used.
Step 2 Filing Articles of Incorporation
Once you've reserved a company name, you can proceed to register your company and file articles of incorporation. Articles of incorporation are legal documents that establish your business, and must be approved by the Maryland commercial division before you do business under that business name.
