Yes it can. Restrictions on business names are common in most countries and corporations within a single jurisdiction are not allowed to share the same name or names so similar that they can be confused. However, there is no restriction on having a company name identical if the business is registered in a different country.


Within the US, companies are registered within a state so it is entirely possible to have a company of an identical name in another state.


Many large organizations will register companies in multiple states and several countries in order to protect their brand name.


As with all business and legal matters, it is well worth seeking expert information in your own location before investing time and money into a new venture or corporation.
