Screen a business name against state naming rules
check_llc_nameScreens a proposed business name against state naming rules. It does NOT search any state registry and cannot tell whether a name is already taken. Wyoming and Delaware: the entity designator where the statute requires one (such as "LLC"), words that are restricted or need agency approval (such as "Bank"; in Wyoming also "Trust" or "University"), and other state-specific rules. Florida: the required designator only. Other states and DC return verdict "unsupported" with a note pointing to the state's official name search. Verdicts: "conflict" means the name as written breaks a rule that blocks filing, including a missing required designator (reasons include a "Try:" suggestion where one applies); "uncertain" means no blocking rule was found (reasons may still list warnings) and availability is unverified. Wyoming, Delaware, and Florida results include verifyUrl, the state's official name search. Use when the user proposes a name for a new LLC or corporation in Wyoming, Delaware, or Florida.
