WHAT IS A DBA FILING?

If you conduct business as under one name but would like to be known by a second name, you would need a DBA filing.

For example, if your business Roofing Contractors, Inc. is getting into the gutter repair business and want to establish a separate identity for that aspect of your business while still maintaining your same corporate structure a dba filing is the route you would want to take.

So, your DBA filing might look something like this:

ARE DBA FILINGS ONLY FOR CORPORATIONS?

No. Unincorporated businesses like sole proprietors and partnerships can register a DBA filing.

Many sole proprietors and partnership engage in a dba filing to give their businesses a bigger look. Plumbing Professionals makes your business look bigger than Joe Smith plumber.

When a sole proprietor or partnership does a dba filing they can’t use a corporate ending. So while your dba filing could be Joe Smith DBA Plumbing Professionals, it can’t be Joe Smith DBA Plumbing Professionals, Inc. Only corporations, llcs, and other business entities registered with the state can use a corporate ending in their DBA filing.
