NEWSPAPER PUBLICATIONS:

Florida state requires every intent to register a Fictitious Name / DBA be published within the county where the business resides, prior to registration. Publication service is included in our charge of $220. Our legal publisher will provide proof of publication free of charge.

 

Advantages of DBA:

You can use your DBA name instead of your personal name to conduct business, collect payments and open bank accounts.

It allows a single legal entity (corporation, LLC, etc.) to operate multiple businesses without creating a new legal entity for each business.

Cost-effective and simple way to start doing business, without ongoing maintenance or the costs associated with forming a Corporation or LLC

 

DBA MAKES IT EASY TO...

  • Open a bank account and collect checks and payments under your business name
  • Start publishing and advertising on business cards, signs and your website
  • Look more professional and discourage others from using your name

Fortunately, FloridaRegistrations.org makes the process easy. Simply answer a few questions online, and we will prepare the application for you, and file it with the proper state agency.

 

RESTRICTIONS TO DBA NAMES:

There are restrictions on the words that a DBA can contain. However, most of the restrictions are in place to ensure that your DBA name does not mislead the general public or imply that the business is a different type of entity than it actually is. For example, you cannot make your DBA name "Acme Incorporated" if you have not filed the necessary documents to legally form a Corporation. Likewise, you cannot include "LLC" in your DBA name if you haven't yet filed the documents to legally form an LLC, also you cannot use Ltd., LP, LLP, etc.

 

WHAT IS A DBA / FICTITIOUS NAME:

A fictitious name means any name under which a person transacts business in this state, other than his legal name. Business means any enterprise or venture in which a person sells, buys, exchanges, barters, deals, or represents the dealing in any thing or article of value, or renders services for compensation. Legal name means a person's given name, or an entity that has been properly registered. Examples: trademarks, service marks, corporations, limited partnerships.
