DBA Overview

DBA stands for "doing business as" and is an official registration of your business name.

If you want to look more professional by collecting checks and payments under your business name, MyCorporation can file a DBA application for you.

We file your DBA with the required government agencies, check its status and even publish it where required. You'll receive the approval and publication certificate for your records.

A 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

DBA registration is necessary if your company conducts any business and/or collects money under a name other than your own name.

"Conducting business" can include marketing, advertising, letterhead, business cards, etc., in addition to actual business transactions. Also, banks generally require a DBA registration in order to open a business bank account.

DBAs are not just for sole proprietors. If you are a corporation or LLC and want to do business under a name different than your corporate name, you are also required to file for a DBA.
