Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about DBA filings
A DBA, also called a fictitious business name or trade name, allows you to operate your business under a name different from your legal business name. For example, if your LLC is 'Smith Holdings LLC', you could file a DBA to operate as 'The Coffee Corner'.
It depends on your state and how you want to operate. If you want to use a name different from your official legal name registered with the state, you'll need a DBA. Many businesses use DBAs for marketing or to operate multiple lines of business under different names.
DBA validity varies by state and county. Some states require renewal every 5 years, others every 10 years, and some don't expire. We'll provide you with your specific renewal requirements after filing.
DBA registration provides limited protection. It prevents others in your county/state from using the same name, but doesn't provide trademark protection nationwide. For broader protection, consider federal trademark registration.
