FIRST Submit an online dba form . . . Then use a check or credit card to Purchase a Fictitious Business Name (FBN) online, mail us a check or order by phone You receive a confirmation email When we receive the Fictitious Business Name submitted form, we inspect it, and correct it if necessary; then, we pay the filing fee and file it with gov't office.

In certain cases, we fax you the copies, and a lot of banks let you open a bank account with the faxed copies. You take the original Fictitious Business Name certified copy and the publication receipt to a bank and you open a bank account with it. After four weeks of the FBN's publication, we file a publication proof with the gov't . Benefits of a Fictitious Business Name FBN - Doing Business As DBA : It allows you to open a bank accounts in the DBA Fictitious Business Name so you can receive and write checks in the company's name. Simply put, it is more professional to use a business name to do business than using your own name . You can sue others with the same Fictitious Business Name, if you have filed before them. It allows you to do business with a Fictitious Business Name fitting to your business. For example, you can call your company "Fly-By-Night," or "Rob'em & Cheat'em," if you think it will help your business ( by the way, I don't highly recommend any of the above names). More realistically speaking, it would make a difference if you were a computer consultant and named your company "Computek Guru," than going by your own name, for example "John Smith's Computer Advice". Can file as many names as you wish. Note: imagine the possibilities. Have 10 different names with 10 different fictitious names. Obtain a Federal Tax Id for each Fictitious Name. Build 10 different credit lines in the 10 different names - each with a different tax id. Even if you could obtain $10,000 for each company name, you would end up having $100,000 credit line in a short time. Now, please tell me... what's most important when your running a business? After having clients, the most important thing is CASH! CASH is the most important thing to stay and succeed in business. And I want to remind you . . . no one loves you enough to loan you any serious money ... except the banks ( because they make money out of it... of course). How you can justify so many companies? The possibilities are endless: each part of your business could be a different company ( which I highly recommend for tax purposes). For example, if you were selling widgets, you could have a marketing department/company, a purchasing department / company, a supplies department / company, a distribution department company, etc. No one tells you to have one company for your company - split it up as many times as possible "DBA" or Fictitious Business Name (FBN). What is it? A Trade or Fictitious Business Name is simply a government filing and publication by the business or individual under which the Fictitious Business Name operates. It tells the community that John Doe, who lives on 1 Somewhere St. in Beverly Hills, CA 90210, operates a business called "Getoll De Muny," and his business address is 1 Nowhere St, Los Angeles California 90000. So now people and banks can trust you and they will issue checks in the company's name and the bank will open a bank account and let you cash the checks. NOTE THE BANK will not open a bank account unless you have a An Assumed Fictitious Business Name Statement or Certificate filed and in most cases published as well. "DBA" means "Doing Business As..." A person or a company is using a business name other than their personal or corporation name. Example: Tony Soprano starts a business called "Rob 'em and Cheat 'em". Obviously, he does not want his name to be associated with the business name, so a DBA registration is required, unless he uses "Tony Soprano" or even Tony Soprano, the Robber" as his business name because in the latter case his real name is incorporated in the business name. The same applies when a Corporation, an LLC, a General Partnership, etc. wants to do business in another name. Example, your corporation name is "Rob 'em and Cheat 'em" and you want to do business as "Rob 'em". You need to obtain a DBA for that name. Do you need a Federal or State Tax Id or a Seller’s Permit for your business? 3. Tax IDs EIN Fed./State/Permits Business License? Answer: 1. Generally you need a Fed tax id, if you are a corporation OR if you have employees. Most business advisors reccomend you obtain one anyway so as to separate yourself from the company for tax purposes - however, you could do your taxes under your social security if you don't have employees or you are not a corporation. However, keep in mind that incorporation is the organization that really shields your assets and protects you from civil liability so long as you follow the corporate formalities. 2. Do I need a State Tax ID? See "1" above: you need it if you pay employee(s) more than $100 per year. In other words, if you are an employer, you need a state tax id / employer identification tax number. 3. You need a seller's permit if you sell any type of products – YOU GET tax free purchases for ITEMS YOU BUY to resell. Both wholesalers and retailers need a sellers permit. 4. All Businesses need a business licenses.
