Whats the difference between a DBA and a fictitious name?

A DBA name is also called a trade name, assumed name, or fictitious business name. The purpose of registering a DBA name is to notify the public that a person or business entity is operating under a name different than its legal name.

How much does a DBA cost in NC?

Youll need to register for a DBA. Having a DBA is actually a general requirement from most banks since entrepreneurs are not allowed to use their personal accounts under their business name. A DBA allows business owners to open up accounts and issue and receive checks under the business name.

Why do people use fictitious business names?

The fact that DBAs dont provide any exclusivity for your name is a massive drawback, as is the lack of personal asset protection for sole proprietors and general partners. If you want an assumed name for your business, we think forming an LLC is a far superior option.

Is DBA the same as a fictitious name?

A DBA, which stands for doing business as, is the colloquial term for a fictitious name. Think of a DBA as a second name that you hold out to the public thats different from your actual corporate name. One reason that people use DBAs is that their true corporate name may not be marketing friendly.
