WHY FILE A DOING BUSINESS AS APPLICATION?
If you are a sole proprietor and you want a more “business-like” name, you may want
to file. For example, if Joe Smith is a sole proprietor doing business as a plumber,
he may want to give his business a name that identifies the nature of the services
he provides. So, if he files a doing business as application, he could then have
a business name and display it two ways:
-
Joe Smith dba Plumbing Professionals (would likely use this on checks) OR
-
Plumbing Professionals (once you file the doing business as application you can
use the chosen dba name by itself).
