A 'Doing Business As' (DBA) name, also known as a fictitious name or trade name, allows you to operate your business under a name different from your legal business name. For entrepreneurs in Mississippi (MS), understanding DBA requirements is crucial if you plan to use a business name that doesn't match your personal name or your registered LLC or corporation name. This guide breaks down everything you need to know about DBAs in Mississippi, from filing procedures to renewal. While not a separate legal entity itself, a DBA provides a way for sole proprietors and partnerships to conduct business under a trade name.
