A fictitious business name is a name used by a natural person or entity for conducting business under such a name, which is different from its legal name.
For example, if I start a coffee shop as a sole proprietorship, I would need to operate it under a name like Nellie Akalp Coffee Company. Not very catchy, right? But with a fictitious name approved by the state, I could use a more clever namesuch as Caf Harmonyto represent my business.
A fictitious name is a name other than your proper legal business entity name that you formally get permission from the state (or county) to use when conducting business. You may also see a fictitious business name referred to as: Doing Business As (DBA) Assumed name.
A fictitious name is any assumed name, style or designation other than the proper name of the entity using such name.
