  • (a) A person may apply to reserve a name for the purpose of forming a limited liability company by paying the fee specified in Code Section 14-11-1101. If the Secretary of State finds that the limited liability company name applied for is available, he or she shall reserve the name for the applicant's use for 30 days or until articles of organization are filed, whichever is sooner.
