A fictitious name is an artificial name deliberately created or adopted. For example, a business may have a fictitious business name. Fictitious names may also be used when filing a lawsuit against someone whose name is unknown to the plaintiff or to conceal a person's identity. See also: doing business as (DBA)
A fictitious name filing could help you comply with state law if you use something other than your legal name when you engage in business. Sole proprietors and partnerships may opt to use an assumed business name if they don't want to use their personal names (or some variation thereof) when dealing with the public.
In the U.S., a DBA lets the public know who the real owner of a business is. The DBA is also called a fictitious business name or assumed business name. It got its origins as a form of consumer protection, so dishonest business owners couldn't try to avoid legal trouble by operating under a different name.
The Purpose of a Fictitious Name States require filing fictitious business names because they help inform the public about who actually owns the company. A fictitious name filing puts a business's name and its owner's identity on public record.
