DBA Filing Service (Certificate of Assumed Name)

PERFECT FOR: LLCs, corporations, and partnerships that want to do business under a name different from their legal registered name.

A DBA (Doing Business As), also called a Certificate of Assumed Name or Trade Name, allows your legally formed business entity to operate under an additional business name without forming a separate legal entity. Our licensed paralegals handle the entire filing process, ensuring your DBA is properly registered and compliant with local requirements.

Includes:

  • Certificate of Assumed Name preparation
  • County clerk filing (one county)
  • All filing fees included
  • Name availability verification
  • Official county certificate
  • Bank-ready documentation
  • Licensed paralegal review
