Hope if anyone knows if there's a solution for this,

On the side, I write apps for Tablets/Mobile phones, and I'd like to associate these with a company. I have a company name, with domain reserved, and a logo that works great with it. Haven't done anything else, though, like registering for a LLC, etc.

But the thing is, I live in California reluctantly, knowing I'd like to move out of here, if I ever figure out how to make income that's not dependent on jobs (in my work industry, L.A. is the best area, but I can't stand L.A. for many reason.)

So I've heard that you need to go to the Secretary of State for the specific State, but I don't want to register for a new company that's tied to California, because it's not my goal to stay here much longer.

I simply want to reserve my company name, so, when in the future I figure out to support myself living in, say, southern Oregon, or in New Mexico, and I finally want to start the company with my chosen name, I can do it with my reserved name.

Wondering the best way to go about this.

So register the company in the state that you plan on moving to. You can do this by following these steps:

Personally I wouldnt worry about it unless it is a brandable term. Say you just want to open 'Joes bikes' but someone has joes bikes inc. You could do a variant like Joes bikes and more inc and everyone would know you as Joes bikes.

If you wanted to do Zingbike (brandable term) I would suggest trademarking the term as 'intent to use'

Good suggestion, thanks I'll keep that in mind

Nevada is a primary state for incorporation, easy and cheap. Many corps are registered in Delaware, same reason, even when having no presence in Delaware.

It's ironic that you're mentioning Nevada. I actually tried to live there, in Henderson, and loved it for the 5 months that I lasted there.. couldn't find a job.
Which is why I vowed to find a way to create my own income, someway, and thus be able to live in any state I please. It's just the way to go.
