File Your DBA the Right Way — With an Expert.

A DBA (Doing Business As) is a registration that allows you to conduct business under a name different from your legal entity name. It's also known as a fictitious business name, trade name, or assumed business name.

You need a DBA if you want to operate under a name different from your registered business name or personal name. Sole proprietors who want to use a business name other than their own legal name are typically required to file a DBA.

No. A DBA registers a business name at the state or county level. A trademark provides federal protection for a brand name, logo, or slogan. A DBA does not provide trademark protection.

DBA registration periods vary by state, typically lasting 5 years. You may need to renew your DBA before it expires to continue using the name legally.

Yes! A single business entity can file multiple DBAs to operate under different names. This is useful for businesses that want to market different product lines or services under separate brand names.

A DBA only provides name protection at the local or state level where it is filed. For broader protection, you should consider trademark registration which provides federal protection.
