A person may reserve the exclusive use of an available business entity name for a period of 120 days by filing an application with the Commission, which includes paying a filing fee of $10. The reservation can be for a Virginia or foreign business entity and may be renewed for successive periods of 120 days during the 45-day period preceding the date of a reservation’s expiration. If the reservation is not renewed within the 120 day period, the exclusive use of the business entity name will be revoked.
