How much time does it take to register a business name?
You must submit a Trade Name Registration to the Nebraska Secretary of State in order to register a business name in Nebraska. There is a $100 filing fee and the form can be submitted either online or by mail.
Your business name will be registered as soon as your form has been processed. Depending on how many applications are received by the Secretary of State’s office, the processing time can change, but it usually takes 3-5 business days.
The processing period for registering a business name can vary, as was already explained. However, in the aforementioned 3-5 business day timeframe, your business name should be authorized if your application is comprehensive and complies with all standards.
A sort of business entity known as a sole proprietorship is one in which the company is owned and run by just one individual. All business-related matters, such as financial and legal duties, fall under this person’s entire responsibility. A sole proprietorship in Nebraska does not have to register with the Secretary of State’s office, but depending on the type of business, it could need to get specific licenses or permissions.
You can submit a Reservation of Name form to the Nebraska Secretary of State if you wish to reserve a certain name but aren’t yet ready to register your firm. There is a $15 filing fee and the form can be submitted online or by mail.
