What's a DBA?
Q: What's a DBA?
A: DBA is an acronym for "Doing Business As" (also known as a "Fictitious Name.").
Most states require that sole proprietorships and partnerships that are conducting business under a name other than the owner(s) must file for a DBA certificate in the county where business is conducted. The DBA certificate is generally obtained at the Clerk of Court of the county in which business will be conducted. Fees are typically $10 or less and most courthouses have records that may be searched to determine if your suggested name will be unique.
