Doing Business As (D.B.A)
What is Doing Business As (D.B.A)?
Doing Business As is the same as a Fictitious Business Name (FBN) or Trade Name. When people don’t want to use or start a business under the legal name of their LLC or Corporation, they choose a imaginary name to their business. Fictitious Business Names, Doing Business As, Assumed Business or Trade Name are all different terms used to identify the same thing!
Why Doing Business As?
If you’re incorporating your business in multiple states under the same name but want to specify each branch by its location, D.B.A is a good option for you! Moreover, in case your services have changed or diversified, an assumed business (same as a D.B.A) name helps you define the function of your corporation.

Is Their Any Disadvantages?
Despite the good options a D.B.A provides, you will still need either an LLC, corporation or non-profit to get liability protection. Apart from this, some counties require you to renew your D.B.A every 5 to 10 years. Additionally, D.B.A unfortunately don’t provide any kind of legal protections for you business either.
